Artificial Intelligence is machine intelligence or ability to think and process information like natural human intelligence in order to create expert systems with human intelligence (reasoning, learning, and problem solving) with help from science and technology disciplines such as Mathematics, Engineering, Biology, Computer Science, Linguistics and Psychology. The term intelligence, literally, means the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. The term Artificial Intelligence ( Artificial Intelligence) is pretty self-explanatory. It is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills artificially. In 1956, a group of researchers from different disciplines of technology gathered for the summit called Dartmouth Summer Research Project.

The computer that stunned humanity by beating the best mortal players at a strategy board game requiring "intuition" has become even smarter, its creators claim. Even more startling, the updated version of AlphaGo is entirely self-taught -- a major step towards the rise of machines that achieve superhuman abilities "with no human input", they reported in the science journal Nature. Dubbed AlphaGo Zero, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) system learnt by itself, within days, to master the ancient Chinese board game known as "Go" -- said to be the most complex two-person challenge ever invented.

Dubbed AlphaGo Zero, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) system learnt by itself, within days, to master the ancient Chinese board game known as "Go" -- said to be the most complex two-person challenge ever invented. It came up with its own, novel moves to eclipse all the Go acumen humans have acquired over thousands of years. After just three days of self-training it was put to the ultimate test against AlphaGo, its forerunner which previously dethroned the top human champs.

If you enjoy art but most of your drawings resemble a child's doodles, then you'll be happy to hear that help is at hand – in the form of an artificial intelligence computer. Scientists have created a new system called'Vincent' that uses deep learning to transform sketches into'works of art.' Completed'works of art' combine a users' sketch with art since the renaissance, as if Van Gogh, Cézanne and Picasso were inside the machine. If you enjoy art but most of your drawings resemble a child's doodles, then you'll be happy to hear that help is at hand – in the form of an artificial intelligence computer. Vincent is the first system with the ability to interpret what a human is drawing, and then complete the piece for them. To design Vincent, the researchers showed the computer thousands of paintings from the Renaissance period to the current day, training the computer on contrast, colour and texture.

London: A computer "judge" using artificial intelligence has correctly predicted verdicts of the European Court of Human Rights with 79 per cent accuracy. Computer scientists devised a program that was able to weigh up legal evidence and moral questions of right and wrong. The algorithm scoured English language data sets for 584 cases relating to torture and degrading treatment, fair trials and privacy. In each case, the program analysed the information and arrived at its own judicial decision. In 79 per cent of cases, the artificial intelligence (AI) verdict matched the one that was delivered by the court.

US chipmaker Nvidia Corp showed off on Monday a smaller and more efficient artificial intelligence computer for self-driving cars, saying it would power Baidu's mapping and autonomous vehicle technology. Chinese web services company Baidu will deploy Nvidia's new Drive PX 2 as its in-vehicle car computer for its self-driving system, Nvidia said in a press release as it unveiled the computer at the GPU Technology Conference in Beijing. As more carmakers develop plans for self-driving technology to roll out in their vehicles in the next decade or less, Nvidia is trying to lower the barriers to entry, providing powerful computers to help automakers enter the market. Earlier this month, Nvidia and Baidu announced a partnership to develop a full self-driving car architecture from the cloud to the vehicle using both companies' expertise in artificial intelligence (AI). Nvidia said its new Drive PX 2 computer uses 10 watts of power and is half the size of the original version, launched in January.
