The Future Of Artificial Intelligence

Throughout history, The human has researched an invention that can mimic the human mind in his thinking style, as writers, filmmakers, and game developers have tried to find a logical explanation for the concept of artificial intelligence. In the simplest terms, the term artificial intelligence (AI) refers to systems or devices that mimic human intelligence to perform tasks, which can improve themselves based on the information they collect. As research and studies in ai are accelerating at the moment, scientists as a whole are trading two different points of view from developments in this area, the first coming from a pessimistic attitude based on fear of the future that makes super-intelligent robots dominate the world, and the second is a more optimistic future, with humans and robots working together. Artificial intelligence is a new term in our thousands of years old world, but it has managed to occupy a very important position in a very short period of time, and its future is expected to be very impressive, especially since it will help to make its own future, and it is undoubtedly capable of doing so.
