What is Artificial Intelligence?
Fabio Morandín-Ahuerma
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a machine or computer system to simulate and perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence, such as logical reasoning, learning, and problem solving. Artificial intelligence is based on the use of machine learning algorithms and technologies to give machines the ability to apply certain cognitive abilities and perform tasks on their own autonomously or semi-autonomously. Artificial intelligence is distinguished by its degree of cognitive capacity or by its degree of autonomy. By capacity it can be weak or limited, general or superlative. Due to its autonomy, it can be reactive, deliberative, cognitive, or totally autonomous. As artificial intelligence improves, many processes are becoming more efficient and tasks that seem complicated today will be performed more quickly and accurately.
