Overview
Minsky McCarthy
“Artificial intelligence
…describes any task
performed by a program or a
machine that, if a human
carried out the same activity,
we would say the human
had to apply intelligence to
accomplish the task.”
“Artificial intelligence
… is intelligence
demonstrated by machines,
in contrast to the natural
intelligence displayed by
humans and other animals. ”
“Artificial intelligence
…is a system’s ability to
correctly interpret external
data, to learn from such data,
and to use those learnings to
achieve specific goals and
tasks through flexible
adaptation.”
Kaplan Haenlein
“Artificial intelligence
…is the ability of a digital
computer or computer-
controlled robot to perform
tasks commonly associated
with intelligent beings.”
