TL;DR: Artificial intelligence is a capability of computational systems, software that takes in information about its surroundings and works toward the goals it was given; the working definition promises no copy of a person, and the field’s record never delivered one. The field opened with a 1955 bet that behavior described precisely enough can be simulated; John McCarthy named it in that same proposal. The build pipeline runs one way: an algorithm trains on a dataset, training produces ...
