The concept of artificial intelligence refers to the process of giving intelligent agents, such as a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or software, the ability to think intelligently in a manner that is analogous to the way in which intelligent humans think. The intelligent agent is a system that is able to perceive its environment and take action in a way that increases its chances of being successful.

The application of artificial intelligence can take many forms, including the streamlining of laborious tasks, the acceleration of decision-making processes, and even the enhancement of precautionary safety protocols. The application of artificial intelligence can also have far-reaching implications for the way that humans interact with machines and technology.

For instance, artificial intelligence can potentially improve the accuracy of medical diagnosis by using sophisticated algorithms to detect patterns in patient data.
