Early machines were dumb and could only function according to a well-defined set of instructions. However, with the increasing power of the computers and processing networks, it is now possible to create and execute algorithms that can improve their functions with each iteration. This phenomenon is termed as artificial intelligence (AI), although it may be better termed as machine intelligence (MI). Defining Artificial Intelligence(AI) Artificial intelligence is difficult to define with complete clarity. A general definition may be presented as …
