        • An Overview of AI and Its Evolution Page

          Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think, learn, and make decisions. AI systems can perform tasks such as problem-solving, pattern recognition, and language understanding—often with speed and scale beyond human capability.

        • AI Categories and Examples

          Reactive Machines

          Basic AI systems that respond to inputs

          (e.g., chess-playing programs).

          		 AI Categories and examples. 1. Reactive machines (e.g. IBM Deep Blue) 2. Limited Memory (e.g. Self-driving cars) 3. Theory of Mind (e.g. Sophia - robot) 4. Self-aware (no current examples)

          Limited Memory

          AI that learns from historical data

          (e.g., self-driving cars).

          Theory of Mind

          Future AI aiming to understand emotions and intentions.

          Self-aware

          Hypothetical AI with consciousness.
