Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that probes into the possibility of simulating human intelligence into a machine. John McCarthy, An American computer scientist & cognitive scientist, considered to be the father of AI coined the term "artificial intelligence" in 1956 at the Dartmouth conference. Since the beginning of computers or machines era, technology has exponentially evolved. Machines and technology have considerably reduced human efforts and helped in increasing efficiency and speed with respect to time and money.
