A.I. is about computers "learning" and thinking, without humans telling them what to do.
What is intelligence?
As you probably already know, intelligence is not the same for everybody.
The dictionary says that intelligence is:
Ever since computers were first made, people have imagined that in the future computers could perhaps be as "intelligent" as people.
As we saw last week, Alan Turing invented one of the first computers.
Even though his computer was not very powerful compared with today's devices, he believed that computers would eventually be intelligent enough to "trick" humans into thinking they were real. Here's a video about the Turing Test:
Computers still find it very difficult to have 'real' human conversations, but they are able to do other things better than humans. For example, they can beat us at games like Mahjong and chess:
Since 1997, computers have become much more intelligent. For example, they can now play the TV game show Jeopardy!. In Jeopardy!, people have to say questions for their answer.
"This man was President of the United States until last year and was born in Hawaii."
"Who is Barack Obama?"
IBM made a computer called Watson, and sent it to play some games on Jeopardy!
Watson doesn't get everything right, but knows how to take calculated risks:
A.I. is growing fast and more accurate each year. For example, Google, Uber, and other companies are starting to develop self-driving cars:
However, some people are afraid that A.I. could be a bad thing. Robots might take over human jobs:
Or perhaps, machines with A.I. could be an even bigger danger to us:
Overall, do you think artificial intelligence is a good or bad thing for humans?
