Artificial intelligence is the branch of
computer science concerned with making
computers behave like humans. The term was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Can Computers Exhibit Full AI?
Currently, no computers exhibit full artificial intelligence (that
is, are able to simulate human behavior). The greatest advances have
occurred in the field of games playing. The best computer chess programs
are now capable of beating humans. In May, 1997, an IBM super-computer
called
Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Gary Kasparov in a chess match.
