AI's Mystery and Its Demystification

The term'Artificial Intelligence' was originally coined in the year 1955 by John McCarthy, who is known as the Father of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is abbreviated as AI. Although AI was coined in the mid 1950's, many people assume that it is a recent development. Work on AI started way back and continues to be one of the top researched areas even today. AI is predicted to even perform surgeries on its own by the year 2048. So, what exactly is AI? Artificial Intelligence is the effort to simulate human intelligence by the use of machines. Looking at the history of computers and its associated technologies, the initial concept was to make machines that perform a specified work so as to enhance accuracy, increase efficiency and cut down on human-prone errors.
