Artificial intelligence is applied when a machine
mimics "cognitive" functions that humans
associate with other human minds, such as
"learning" and "problem solving"
Point 1: Artificial Intelligence algorithms take good
decisions also in presence of uncertainly or lack of data
What is Artificial Intelligence
Point 2: Traditional algorithms solve problems that humans
know how already how to solve
“The designing and building of
intelligent agents that receive
percepts from the environment and
take actions that affect that
environment”
Dr. Stuart Russell and Dr.
Peter Norvig
