Being a hype word, AI has many definitions & expectations. The following description is refreshing in the midst of a hype!
So what is artificial intelligence? The truth is, it’s not a science in the common sense of the word. Rather, it’s an aspirational concept that doesn’t quite fit today’s realities.
