Clearly, computers of various types are a necessary ingredient in this technology. And as computer capabilities have increased, so has the problem-solving strength of AI. The various fields that have been associated with AI have included the following:

  1. Machine learning

  2. Operating autonomous vehicles

  3. Robotics

  4. Understanding human speech

  5. Natural language processing

  6. Massive data processing

  7. Artificial neural networks

  8. Search methods and algorithms

  9. Playing sophisticated games (like Chess and GO)

  10. Photo and identity identification ...
