Artificial intelligence (AI) can be understood as the intelligence provided to the machines by a human to compliment human intelligence. We can only use some part of our brain but by creating machines with AI, we give them the power to use the entire potential of data and information available every time a machine runs the algorithm.

Applications of AI: AI is present around us since 1950 but it is now that we can find the real-world applications like Siri from Apple and Google assistance from Google, of this techn ology . It is the rapid growth of the technology that is attracting tech giants as well as start-ups to invest in AI.
