Artificial intelligence (A.I) is a branch of computer science dedicated to creating intelligent machines through studying human thought processes and representing them in machines like computers and robots. A.I methods include symbolic A.I, which focuses on knowledge-based systems, and computational intelligence, which encompasses neural networks and fuzzy systems. The field has evolved significantly since its inception in the 1950s, affecting various industries and raising questions about the future capabilities of machines in terms of intelligence and creativity.
