Artificial intelligence (AI) is the study and design of algorithms that perform tasks or behaviors that a person could reasonably deem to require intelligence if a human were to do it. Broadly construed, an intelligent system can take many forms: a system designed to be indistinguishable from humans; a speech assistant such as Alexa, Siri, Cortana, or Google Assistant; a self-driving car; a recommender in an online commerce site; or a nonplayer character in a video game. We refer to intelligent systems as agents when they are capable of making some decisions on their own based on given goals. Machine learning (ML) is a particular approach to the design of intelligent system in which the system adapts its behavior based on data. It is the success of ML algorithms in particular that have lead to recent growth in commercialization of AI.

How to engage with a vibrant community of like-minded learners. How to develop and present a final programming project. The entry-level course is taught by David J. Malan and the computer science learners get to learn the following programming languages through this course - C, PHP, and JavaScript plus SQL, CSS, and HTML. What makes this course more interesting is that the problem sets included in the course curriculum are inspired by real-world domains of biology, cryptography, finance, forensics, and gaming. Mentioned below are important details of the course.
