Examples: Web apps and medical uses • Major categories of intelligent systems: expert systems neural networks fuzzy logic genetic algorithms intelligent agents • Artificial intelligence (AI) is a subfield of computer science that studies the thought processes of humans and recreates the effects of those processes via machines, such as computers and robots 4 NATURAL VS. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 5 TG EXPERT SYSTEMS • Expert systems (ESs) are computer systems that attempt to mimic human experts by applying expertise in a specific domain. • Since 2007, IBM scientists have been trying to automate one of the most human of abilities: answering questions asked in everyday language, or natural language. They even gave their technology a human name: Watson. Watson uses more than 100 algorithms to analyze a question in different ways, providing hundreds of possible answers. • Click here to access the Website of IBM Watson Supercomputer 6 2 16-12-09 EXPERTISE TRANSFER FROM HUMAN TO COMPUTER .
