Artificial Intelligence

Concept/Term:

Artificial intelligence is the science of creating machines capable of performing activities that require intelligence when people perform them. Artificial Intelligence focuses on various psychological processes such as perception, decision-making, communication and motor functions. With the help of computer models, such processes are simulated in order to gain a better insight into human thinking and perception.

Example:

A counseling psychologist has developed a computer program that can suggest different paths students can take to meet the requirements for the degrees they seek. This program is an example of artificial intelligence.
