If you are looking for an answer to the question What is Artificial Intelligence? and you only have a minute, then here's the definition the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence offers on its home page: "the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines."

However, if you are fortunate enough to have more than a minute, then please get ready to embark upon an exciting journey exploring AI (but beware, it could last a lifetime) …

A new dawn in AI and quantum computing now looks tantalisingly close

New ScientistOct-6-2021, 18:00:00 GMT

THERE are two grand ambitions now for computer science: truly intelligent machines and useful quantum computers. Recent developments suggest not only that these goals should be achievable, but that they could be closer than we think. Take the quest to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) – AIs that go well beyond being good at one specific task, but can instead do anything a human can. Some people still think this is impossible. And yet analysis of AIs designed to master human language has prompted other experts to suggest that AGI might only be a matter of scaling up current technology.
