What is really AI?
Manual instructions from a person to a
machine

into ‘data’ (characteristics). By putting them
together, the machine understands that the
object is a dog.

Let’s define together AI

24. ® Mirea Cartabbia, Donata Petrelli
Some AI definitions
The study is to proceed on the
basis of the conjecture that every
aspect of learning or any other
feature of intelligence can in
principle be so precisely described
that a machine can be made to
simulate it.
John McCarthy, 1956
The theory and development of
computer systems able to
perform tasks normally
requiring human intelligence,
such as visual perception,
speech recognition, decision-
making, and translation between
languages.
English Oxford Living Dictionary
“The field of computer science
dedicated to solving cognitive
problems commonly associated
with human intelligence, such as
learning, problem solving, and
pattern recognition.
Amazon
