Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is the branch of Computer Science that derives its inspiration from biological systems to solve highly complex problems. There are many facets of AI, including search algorithms, knowledge representation, reasoning and learning. The field of learning is the best known and can take many forms, from Genetic Algorithms that emulate evolution to Deep Learning neural networks that mimic the neural pathways of the brain. These forms can even include swarm-based algorithms that mimic ant colonies. Currently, deep neural nets have captured the imagination of researchers and have provided incredible breakthroughs in neuroscience and beyond.
