What is artificial intelligence?

Deemed by many as the ultimate technology for a smart IoT world, artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence exhibited in software that allows machines, devices, services and other'things' to learn and behave like a human. The difference from other systems that do the same is the fact that the AI software can do this without any coding done by a person or any other manual input. AI's main goal is to find solutions to problems. This is done through reasoning, planning, natural language processing, perception, and others. AI itself splits into several different branches.
