Artificial intelligence studies how to use computer systems to solve problems that require a human level of thinking. For example, recognition of visual images, understanding of natural language, automated decision-making, accumulation of knowledge, adaptation and learning from new experiences.
Despite how much buzz there is in the media today about artificial intelligence, the field has been around for a long time. The first scientific studies of artificial intelligence began in the 1950s, and during this time it has already experienced two so-called "winters" - periods when the actual development of the area did not match the inflated expectations of business or government institutions, and led to disappointment.
Now the industry is more applying the achievements of narrow artificial intelligence. For example, if we have a machine that can recognize faces very well, then we will build a business around facial recognition. And instead of the general Turing test, we can evaluate this system specifically on the face recognition task.
