But what is artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence or AI is intelligence displayed by machines such as computers, in

a way similar to us, humans.

It's able to observe its environment, learn and solve problems.

The term “artificial intelligence” was coined in 1955 by John McCarthy, who became

one of co-founders and leaders of AI research.

So where are we currently with the research?

So far we have nailed Weak AI, also referred to as Narrow AI.

Weak AI is able to solve just one specific task.

It can beat you in chess, keep your mailbox free of spam, drive a car or recommend you

a song based on what you're listening to.

The next stage is Strong AI, also called General AI.

Strong AI refers to intelligence of a computer, which could perform any intellectual task

that a human being can.

Basically it would be as smart as we are.

This is much harder to create, and we will have to wait for it.

After we reach Strong AI, it should be only a matter of time, till we achieve Superintelligence.

Superintelligence would possess intellect much smarter than the brightest and most gifted

human minds.

Although it is possible it will never happen.
