Course Description
Welcome to this course on What Is Artificial Intelligence? In these lessons, you’ll explore what artificial intelligence means, the differences between natural and artificial intelligence, and learn how AI allows humans to create intelligent systems such as chatbots and smart cars that can think just like a human brain. These lessons will also compare the strengths and limitations of weak AI and strong AI, and you’ll be introduced to the primary objectives of AI research, including creating an advanced system more powerful than a human brain and the ability to perform complex tasks and problem-solving. The course will explain the impact of AI on human life and how to design systems to take advantage of the capabilities of artificial intelligence to help humans grow and improve.
