WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?
According to Encyclopedia of 20th Century Technology "Artificial intelligence (AI) is the field of software engineering that builds computer systems and occasionally robots to perform tasks that require intelligence. The term “artificial intelligence” was coined by John McCarthy in 1958, then a graduate student at Princeton, at a summer workshop held at Dartmouth in 1956. This two month workshop marks the official birth of AI, which brought together young researchers who would nurture the field as it grew over the next several decades: Marvin Minsky, Claude Shannon, Arthur Samuel, Ray Solomonoff, Oliver Selfridge, Allen Newell, and Herbert Simon".

Best AI Platforms Software
Artificial intelligence (AI) platforms provide users a tool kit to build intelligent applications. These platforms combine intelligent, decision-making algorithms with data, which enables developers to create a business solution. Some platforms offer pre-built algorithms and simplistic workflows with such features as drag-and-drop modeling and visual interfaces that easily connect necessary data to the end solution, while others require a greater knowledge of development and coding.
These algorithms can include functionality for:
AI platforms are frequently used by developers to create both the learning algorithm and intelligent application. However, users without intensive development skills will benefit from the platforms’ pre-built algorithms and other features that curb the learning curve.
To qualify for inclusion in the AI Platforms category, a product must:
