Artificial Intelligence (AI), the study of how to make computers do things that minds can do. These include many things not normally thought of as intelligent, such as moving without bumping into obstacles, or gaining information about an environment through vision. Humans share these capacities, and also the ability to learn from experience, with many other animals. Only humans, however, have language. The intellectual aspects of intelligence depend on language. Much work in AI models intellectual tasks, as opposed to the sensory, motor, and adaptive abilities possessed by all mammals. Most AI systems are programs, existing only inside the computer. Others are robots, controlled either by a program or (in “situated” robots) by engineered reflexes.
