basic terms are used to explain the state of artificial intelligence today

1. What is Artificial Intelligence?

2. Artificial Intelligence "the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines.“ Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence

3. Artificial Intelligence . .To achieve their full impact, computer systems must have more than processing power— they must have intelligence. Barbara Grosz and Randall Davis

4. Artificial Intelligence Computer systems need to be able to assimilate and use large bodies of information and collaborate with and help people find new ways of working together effectively.

5. Artificial Intelligence The technology must become more responsive to human needs and styles of work, and must employ more natural means of communication.

6. Artificial Intelligence It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs.

7. Artificial Intelligence It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable. John McCarthy

8. Intelligence the computational part of the ability to achieve goals in the world. Varying kinds and degrees of intelligence occur in people, many animals and some machines.

9. Intelligence The problem is that we cannot yet characterize in general what kinds of computational procedures we want to call intelligent. We understand some of the mechanisms of intelligence and not others.

10. Intelligence Intelligence involves mechanisms, and AI research has discovered how to make computers carry out some of them and not others.

11. Somewhat Intelligent If doing a task requires only mechanisms that are well understood today, computer programs can give very impressive performances on these tasks.

12. Artificial Intelligence most work in AI involves studying the problems the world presents to intelligence rather than studying people or animals.

13. Artificial Intelligence The ultimate effort is to make computer programs that can solve problems and achieve goals in the world as well as humans.

14. Artificial Intelligence AI programs haven't yet reached the level of being able to learn much of what a child learns from physical experience. Nor do present programs understand language well enough to learn much by reading.
