Demystifying Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) leverages computers and machines to mimic the problem-solving and decision-making capabilities of the human mind. Artificial intelligence is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the second richest in the world, even stated: "We're headed toward a situation where AI is vastly smarter than humans. I think that time frame is less than five years from now."
