3. What is Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence
(AI) is an area of
computer science
that emphasizes the
creation of intelligent
machines that work
and react like
humans.
4. What are the activities included in AI
Some of the activities of computers designed with
artificial intelligence includes:
• Speech recognition
• Learning
• Planning
• Problem solving
5. • John McCarthy
(September 4, 1927 –
October 24, 2011) was an
American computer
scientist and cognitive
scientist.
