9.5.6 Articial Intelligence
Articial intelligence (AI) is the ability of an articial mechanism to exhibit
intelligent behaviour. The term invites speculation about what constitutes the
mind or intelligence. Such questions can be considered separately, but the
endeavour to construct and understand increasingly sophisticated mechanisms
continues.
AI has shown great promise in the area of expert systems, or knowledge-
based expert programs, which, although powerful when answering questions
within a specic domain, are nevertheless incapable of any type of adaptable,
or truly intelligent, reasoning.
