Artificial intelligence (AI) is continually evolving, with new technologies always pushing the limits of what's possible. Despite the astonishing progress that's been made over the past few decades, all AI can be grouped into the following four categories explored below: Reactive Machines are the original form of AI and replicate the ability of humans to respond to different stimuli. Capabilities are limited as the machines aren't equipped with memory-based intelligence and can't use past experiences to "learn" and make smarter decisions. AlphaGo, an advanced computer program developed by Google subsidiary DeepMind Technologies, is an example of Reactive Machine AI. In a 2016 showdown, the program beat international Go champion Lee Se-dol four times and was defeated just once.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is integrated into nearly every aspect of our lives. AI is generally defined as the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages. Another way to put it is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines and computer systems from large amounts of data. Innovation through AI can be found in almost every business sector (e.g. We'll go over each type of AI and provide examples of how they are used today.
