What is Artificial Intelligence (in general)?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is intelligence manifesting itself through a machine, software or some artificially created consciousness. The concept is mostly associated with computers. Although artificial intelligence is originally the brainchild of sci-fi literature, at present it represents a significant branch of computation science concerned with intelligent behaviour, learning and the adaptation of machines, also topics like control, planning and scheduling, the ability of responding to diagnostic and consumer questions as well as the recognition of handwriting, speech and faces. It has developed into a discipline which attempts to find answers to real life problems. Nowadays, AI systems are extensively used in economics and medical science, design, the army and a lot of popular computer applications and video games.
