The document provides an overview of artificial intelligence (AI). It defines AI as the study of computer systems that attempt to model human intelligence. The early history of AI is discussed, noting Alan Turing's 1950 paper that asked if machines can think. The current status of AI includes intelligent personal assistants on mobile devices, as well as applications in video games, navigation, robotics, and deep learning. Key challenges for AI are computing power, intuitive thinking, and judgment. The future of AI is seen in self-driving cars, improved healthcare, and new areas of exploration.
