There are lots of question that the modern computing instruments have been used to answer. Majority of the questions that computing system have been used to answer are those that can be reduced into problem. The problem is then solved and the solution is then used to inform the answer the question. The activity in AI attempt to go beyond this by considering the possibility of creating machines that can directly answer the question, that than the problem rendered version of it. A number of questions arises in respect of the enterprise of AI. These include, but not limited to: Can we make the computer to think like humans? What is intelligence and how can we make a
computer to manifest? Will such machine be conscious? Indeed, these are questions with which computing and intelligent system discourses have been concerned.
The discourses of AI are also of the interesting subject-matter in a number of
fields including, philosophy, human language process and psychology as well as other related fields.
We will be discussing a number of the challenging topics relating to intelligence and consider perhaps whether and how we can craft out machines to mimic it.
