The document discusses artificial intelligence and how it differs from conventional computers. It defines intelligence as the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience. Artificial intelligence involves developing artificial neural networks that mimic human neurons to allow machines to perceive stimuli, learn from interactions, and perform human tasks. While conventional computers are programmed for specific tasks, artificial intelligence can solve problems across domains using reasoning and inference over existing knowledge. The document provides examples of medical, industrial, and educational applications of artificial intelligence.
