Artificial Intelligence: An Overview

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Over the preceding decades, the gradual and incessant advancement and dissemination of artificial intelligence (A.I.) and automation have occasioned a noteworthy degree of motivation and profound alteration across various industries. Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), an interdisciplinary field combining computer science, mathematics, and cognitive psychology, has been rapidly burgeoning with many applications across various industries. The current chapter aims to provide an extensive overview of the theoretical foundations of artificial intelligence, "encompassing its definition, characteristics, and subfields, including machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics". In addition, this chapter delves into diverse intelligence theories, examining how they inform A.I. research and development. Despite the promising potential, A.I. faces significant challenges and limitations, such as biases and ethical concerns, that necessitate prompt addressing. Thus, the chapter will cover the managerial challenges in organizations that may adopt A.I. in the future. This chapter, therefore, underscores the paramount importance of artificial intelligence and its potential ramifications for society and organizations, underscoring the need for continuous research in the field of artificial intelligence. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical foundations of artificial intelligence and its potential implications for the future.
