Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines and thebranch of computer science that aims to create it.
Textbooks define the field as “the study and design of intelligentagents,” where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives itsenvironment and takes actions that maximize its chances ofsuccess.
Late John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956, defines it as“the science and engineering of making intelligent machines.”(Wikipedia)
