Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to computers' ability to mimic or duplicate human brain functions. AI is the branch of computer science that focuses on creating machines capable of intelligent behavior. According to Luger and Stubblefield (1993), AI is "the branch of computer science that is concerned with the automation of intelligent behavior."
The history of AI is rooted in the ambition to create machines capable of thinking and learning like humans. This journey began with early computer science developments and has evolved through the decades into the sophisticated AI systems we see today.
AI has a wide range of applications, including:
Modeling in AI involves creating mathematical representations of real-world processes that can autonomously make decisions or predictions. A model is the result of an algorithm applied to data, and it is used to make predictions or decisions. The algorithm is the logical framework that dictates how the model operates.
