Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. It is a growing discipline that has enabled computer to undertake activities like facial recognition and game playing in a manner that, to an outsider, looks intelligent. There are many different toolsets that are called AI including neural networks, machine learning, expert systems, fuzzy logics, swarm intelligence and many others. These tools are being used in a wide variety of situations to solve a wide variety of complex problems, problems which have been difficult to solve using traditional algorithmic processes. Human intelligence and AI are sufficiently similar that tools developed to understand human intelligence can be applied to computer-based AI systems as well. Blooms Taxonomy is used to provide a definition of what constitutes intelligent computer applications. The article then considers the relationships between applications and intelligent systems.
