A Study of Artificial Intelligence and its Application in Different Areas

In the future, intelligent machines will replace or enhance human capabilities in many areas. Artificial intelligence is the branch of  computer science  concerned with making  computers  behave like humans. The term was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Artificial intelligence in the last two decades has greatly improved performance of the manufacturing and service systems. In artificial intelligence, an expert system is a computer system that  emulates  the decision-making ability of a  human expert . Expert systems are designed to solve complex problems by reasoning through bodies of knowledge, represented mainly as if–then rules rather than through  conventional procedural  code. Application areas of Artificial Intelligence is having a huge impact on various fields of life as expert system is widely used these days to solve the complex problems in various areas as science, engineering, business, medicine, weather forecasting. The areas employing the technology of Artificial Intelligence have seen an increase in the quality and efficiency. This paper gives an overview of this technology and the application areas of this technology. This paper will also explore the current use of Artificial Intelligence technologies in Network Intrusion for protecting computer in the medical area, to improve hospital inpatient care, for medical image classification, in Online telephone customer services and in the computer games.
