Artificial Intelligence Today and Tomorrow

Artificial intelligence is technology in which machines are given the ability to perform tasks that normally require humanlike thinking. Types of AI include machine learning and neural networks. It has a broad range of possible uses in transportation, health care, entertainment, education, agriculture, manufacturing, cybersecurity, and national defense. Current uses are "narrow AI," where the system does one specific task, such as recognizing images. In contrast, a "general AI" system would work more broadly and uses more of the human abilities to learn and to apply that knowledge to new areas.
