Artificial
intelligence is a very challenging science. People engaged in this
work must understand computer knowledge, psychology and philosophy.
Artificial intelligence is a very wide range of science, it is
composed of different fields, such as machine learning, computer
vision and so on. Generally speaking, one of the main goals of
artificial intelligence research is to enable machines to be
competent for some complex tasks that usually need human
intelligence to complete. But different times and different people
have different understanding of this kind of "complex work".
practical

recognition, face recognition, retina recognition, iris
recognition, palmprint recognition, expert system, automatic

Consciousness and artificial
intelligence
In essence, artificial
intelligence is the simulation of the information process of human
thinking.
There are two ways to simulate
people's thinking. One is structural simulation, which imitates the
structural mechanism of human brain and creates "brain like"
machines; The second is functional simulation, which temporarily
puts aside the internal structure of human brain and simulates its
functional process. The emergence of modern electronic computer is
the simulation of human brain's thinking function and the
information process of human brain's thinking.
Nowadays, weak artificial
intelligence is developing rapidly, especially after the economic
crisis in ***8, the United States, Japan and Europe hope to achieve
re industrialization by using robots. Industrial robots are
developing faster than ever, which has led to continuous
breakthroughs in weak artificial intelligence and related
industries. Many jobs that must be done by people can now be
realized by robots.
