Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science concerned with building smart machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. AI has greatly contributed to the human welfare as it is used to get the same results as are expected from human interventions. AI allows machines to model, or even improve upon, the capabilities of the human mind, and is increasingly becoming part of everyday life. AI systems can learn by analyzing vast quantities of data in search of decision-making patterns to emulate, and can be supervised by humans or designed to learn on their own. The societal impact of AI is a topic of intense debate, with some arguing that it enhances the quality of life and others contending that it poses hazardous risks.
