This document discusses artificial intelligence and its relationship to human intelligence. It defines intelligence as the ability to learn from and interact with one's environment. Artificial intelligence is defined as using computers to mimic human intelligence by performing tasks typically requiring human intelligence. AI works using artificial neurons and scientific theorems. Neural networks are composed of interconnected artificial neurons. Examples of AI applications include expert systems like PROSPECTOR for mineral exploration and PUFF for medical diagnosis. Machine learning uses algorithms to mimic human intelligence. While AI can process large amounts of data quickly, it currently lacks human abilities like intuition, creativity and common sense. The document compares human and artificial intelligence and their pros and cons.
