The basic concept of artificial intelligence is quite easy to understand because it's in the name. Artificial intelligence is intelligence that has been created by hand and not... artificial intelligence is intelligence that is not like real intelligence? Artificial intelligence is a machine attempting to emulate biological intelligence? Actually, the concept of artificial intelligence is quite difficult to nail down to a specific definition.

All right, the basic way that we understand artificial intelligence is an intelligence that is produced by a machine. This has been the standard definition for about a century. The reason why it is difficult to conceptualize a specific definition of artificial intelligence is that of how blurred the line is between biological intelligence and mechanical intelligence.

This book aims to provide examples of the ways that the development and adaptation of artificial intelligence will open up new opportunities and challenges to both the business world and society as a whole. For this reason, you won't find a lot of detailed explanations of the technical aspects of AI here. However, at the end of this book, you can research other resources that you can consult if you'd like to dive deeper into the technical world of artificial intelligence.

The idea that computers or software programs can both learn and make decisions is particularly significant and something that we should be aware of, as their processes are growing exponentially over time. Because of these two skills, AI systems can now accomplish many of the tasks that were once reserved for humans.

AI-based technologies are already being used to help humans benefit from significant improvements and increased efficiency in nearly every area of life. As the development of AI continues to grow, it will change the ways we live and work more and more.

Another benefit of AI is that it allows machines and robots to perform tasks that humans consider to be difficult, boring, or dangerous. In turn, this will enable humankind to do things that were once thought impossible.

One drawback to AI technologies is that machines will also be able to perform many tasks that currently require a human touch, which will significantly disrupt the labor market. AI also has the potential to cause political power struggles. We'll cover lots of these topics in the chapters of this book.

This book gives a comprehensive guide on the following:

• What is Artificial Intelligence?
• The History of AI
• Essentials of Data
• Artificial Intelligent Systems
• Chatbots
• Robotics
• Speech Recognition
