Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, as opposed to the natural intelligence displayed by humans or animals. Leading AI textbooks define the field as the study of “intelligent agents”: any system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of achieving its goals.[a] Some popular accounts use the term “artificial intelligence” to describe machines that mimic “cognitive” functions that humans associate with the human mind, such as “learning” and “problem-solving”, however, this definition is rejected by major AI researchers.
Beyond The Hype, AI Promises Leg Up For Scientific Research
NEW YORK - The last decade has seen great strides in the application of artificial intelligence to scientific discovery, but practitioners need to know when and how to improve their use of AI and must challenge poor data quality. From drug discovery, material science, astrophysics and nuclear fusion, scientists using AI are seeing results in improved accuracy
