So you are on a four-lane highway heading to your destination. You decide to go around a semi-tractor trailer. You take a quick glance to see the driver of the semi, but there is no one in the driverâs seat. Wow â what was that?
That was Artificial Intelligence self-driving a semi-tractor trailer. In other words, a semi-tractor trailer being driven by a learning machine (a digital computer). After all, airplanes have had auto-pilot for many years. AI has been used with sending humans and robots to outer space.
Artificial Intelligence is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals. Computer science has been busy developing artificial intelligence machines, thinking and working like humans.
