Short Research Essay - Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is intelligence exhibited by machines. In computer science, the
field of AI research defines itself as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives
its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal.
Capabilities currently classified as AI include successfully understanding human speech,
competing at a high level in strategic game systems intelligence has been broken down into
sub-problems. These consist of particular traits or capabilities that researchers expect an
intelligent system to display. The traits described have received the most attention: Reasoning,
problem solving.
Early researchers developed algorithms that imitated step-by-step reasoning that
humans use when they solve puzzles or make logical deductions . Unsupervised learning is the
ability to find patterns in a stream of input. Supervised learning includes both classification and
numerical regression. Classification is used to determine what category something belongs in,
after seeing a number of examples of things from several categories. Regression is the attempt
to produce a function that describes the relationship between inputs and outputs and predicts
how the outputs should change as the inputs change. In reinforcement learning and machine
translation. A motivation for the research is the ability to simulate empathy. The machine should
interpret the emotional state of humans and adapt its behavior to them, giving an appropriate
response for those emotions.
A few believe that anthropomorphic features like artificial consciousness or an artificial
brain may be required for such a project. A few of the most long standing questions that have
remained unanswered are these: should artificial intelligence simulate natural intelligence by
studying psychology or neurology? Or is human biology as irrelevant to AI research as bird
biology is to aeronautical engineering? Computational philosophy, is used to develop an
