What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. The term may also be applied to any machine that exhibits traits associated with a human mind such as learning and problem-solving. Who is the father of Artificial Intelligence? Artificial Intelligence as a research study field was born in the summer of 1956 during the course of a crucial workshop at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. It was just a year before when Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, Claude Shannon, and John McCarthy proposed that they should hold a workshop to put together a roadmap about how to make machines think and learn similarly to human beings.
