What is Artificial Intelligence?

Simply stated, artificial intelligence, AI, is the study of the abilities for computers to perform tasks which currently are better done by humans. We see AI as an interdisciplinary field where computer science intersects with philosophy, psychology, linguistics, engineering and other fields. Humans make decisions basd upon experience and intuition. The essence of AI is the integration of computers to mimic this learning process, simply known as artificial intelligence integration. This site deals with disembodied AI which, as stated above, is computer representation of human behavior without direct contact with a human being. The two fundamental notions that involve computers and human behavior are expert systems and neural networking. Expert Systems are intelligent computer programs that use knowledge and inference procedures that normally require significant human expertise for their solution.
