Definitions for: artificial intelligence (AI)
artificial intelligence (AI)

umbrella terminology for several main categories of research. They include natural language systems, visual and voice recognition systems, robotic systems, and expert systems. Artificial intelligence generally is the attempt to build machines that think, as well as the study of mental faculties through the use of computational models. A reasoning process is involved with self-correction. Significant data are evaluated and relevant relationships, such as the determination of a warranty reserve, uncovered. The computer learns which kind of answers are reasonable and which are not. Artificial intelligence performs complicated strategies that compute the best or worst way to achieve a task or avoid an undesirable result. An example of an application is in tax planning involving tax shelter options given the client's financial position.
