Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, as opposed to the natural intelligence displayed by humans or animals. Leading AI textbooks define the field as the study of "intelligent agents": any system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of achieving its goals.
AI applications include advanced web search engines, recommendation systems, understanding human speech, self-driving cars, automated decision-making and competing at the highest level in strategic game systems. As machines become increasingly capable, tasks considered to require "intelligence" are often removed from the definition of AI, a phenomenon known as the AI effect.
The field was founded on the assumption that human intelligence "can be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it". This raises philosophical arguments about the nature of the mind and the ethics of creating artificial beings endowed with human-like intelligence.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, defined as the study of "intelligent agents".
AI applications include web search engines, recommendation systems, self-driving cars, and game systems. As machines become more capable, the definition of AI evolves (AI effect).
The field assumes human intelligence can be simulated by machines, raising philosophical and ethical questions.
