Artificial Intelligence: Overview

"Artilect," is the shortened form of 'artificial intellect,' comes from one of Hugo de Garis' writings. The term, 'Artificial intelligence,' was originally proposed on Dartmouth Conference in 1956. Since then, researchers have developed many theories and principles. The concept of artificial intelligence was extended as well.

Artificial intelligence is a challenging science. People who engage in this work must have knowledge of computer, psychology, and philosophy. Artificial intelligence is a very broad science.  It consists of the composition of different areas, such as machine learning , computer vision and so. All in all, a major goal of artificial intelligence research is to make the machines capable of some complex works that typically requires human's intelligence to complete. But the understanding of "complex works" will be different on different times and different people. For example, the heavy scientific and engineering computing is originally saddled with human's brains. But now the computer can not only complete this computing, but also can do it faster and more accurate than human's brains. Therefore, this kind of computing is no longer complex works that needs human's intelligence to complete in nowadays. It shows the definition of complex works will change with the development of times and the progress of technology. Artificial intelligence, the specific objectives of this science naturally develop with the times. On one hand, it continues to receive new progress; on the other hand, it turns to a more meaningful and more difficult goal.
