Major AI researchers and textbooks define the field    as \"the study and design of intelligent agents\", where an    intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment    and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. John    McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defines it as \"the    science and engineering of making intelligent machines\". AI    research is highly technical and specialised, deeply divided    into subfields that often fail to communicate with each other.    Some of the division is due to social and cultural factors:    subfields have grown up around particular institutions and the    work of individual researchers. AI research is also divided by    several technical issues. There are subfields which are focused    on the solution of specific problems, on one of several    possible approaches, on the use of widely differing tools and    towards the accomplishment of particular applications. The    central problems of AI research include reasoning, knowledge,    planning, learning, communication, perception and the ability    to move and manipulate objects. General intelligence is still    among the field's long term goals. Currently popular approaches    include statistical methods, computational intelligence and    traditional symbolic AI. There are an enormous number of tools    used in AI, including versions of search and mathematical    optimization, logic, methods based on probability and    economics, and many others.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Here is the original post: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.definitions.net\/definition\/artificial intelligence\" title=\"What does artificial intelligence mean? - Definitions.net\">What does artificial intelligence mean? - Definitions.net<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Artificial intelligence Artificial intelligence is technology and a branch of computer science that studies and develops intelligent machines and software.
