Artificial intelligence (AI) is a term used in defining any form of "intelligence" exemplified by machines. Artificial intelligence can be defined as the capability of a machine to learn independently and act or respond to situations like humans. AI is the technological brain developed by humans to operate and perform tasks with reduced manual intervention, and this ensures it thinks, takes actions, solves problems, and accomplish set goals.
In essence, artificial intelligence confers on inanimate objects the capacity to perceive (speech, sight, hearing, touch), comprehend, and possess some form of common sense, which includes, understanding of what is right or wrong within the frame of human response in a given situation.
AI is redefining the future of businesses and the human workforce, as it is enabling machines and robots to do tasks that would have been done by humans. Starting from programming machines to perform repetitive assignments to making complex decisions, the advantages and task AI offers would continually lead in several directions. The more functionality of AI unlocked, the more disrupting it would be to the human working environment.
The technologies and workings of AI are built by mathematical processes that take advantage of increasing computing power to rapidly deliver models and results accurately, and forecast of operational systems, while also utilizing large data sets. Although these high techs can deliver results faster and more accurately, human intelligence still plays a vital role in designing and using this technology.
