Artificial intelligence by definition is:

artificial intelligence noun

• a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers
• the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior

More commonly, amongst those developing A.I., it is referred to as the study and design of intelligent agents, where intelligent agents are enclosed systems which perceive their environment, taking actions in order to increase/maximize chances at success. Success depends on a goal or ideal which the artificially intelligent 'being' is given as targets to provide a context against their current state/progress. Depending on the scope of the A.I. this can be specific or relatively theoretical, utilizing higher mathematical concepts to model uncertainties and erratic behaviors in tangible, mathematical ways. From here computers can consistently analyze and benchmark progress similar to human perceptions of progress in regards to life goals, or task-based intentions.

Artificial intelligence was founded based on human intelligence... rather, on the capacity to model it in a manner which machines may simulate. As such, there are many of mixed feelings about the concept, as machines may be aberrant in purpose depending on their design. This pessimism is typical as people do not trust new technologies and tend to be fairly skeptical, or downright violently superstitious with powers they do not understand. On the other hand, as technology becomes more familiar, dependencies form, and complacency/apathy grows. The field is interesting and versatile, and with the increase of power per unit of volume circuit boards have, we really have to take responsibility, and create things that better life for everyone, not just progress for the sake of progression.
