Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence exhibited by machines.

In computer science, an ideal


"intelligent" machine is a flexible rational agent that perceives its environment and takes actions that
maximize its chance of success at some goal.[1] Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied
when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds, such
as "learning" and "problem solving".[2] As machines become increasingly capable, mental facilities
once thought to require intelligence are removed from the definition. For example, optical character
recognition is no longer perceived as an exemplar of "artificial intelligence", having become a routine
technology.[3] Capabilities currently classified as AI include successfully understanding human
speech,[4] competing at a high level in strategic game systems (such as Chess and Go[5]), self-driving
cars, and interpreting complex data. Some people also consider AI a danger to humanity if it
progresses unabatedly.[6] AI research is divided into subfields[7] that focus on specific problems or on
specific approaches or on the use of a particular tool or towards satisfying particular applications.
