Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence exhibited by machines. It is also the name of the academic field of study which studies how to create computers and computer software that are capable of intelligent behavior.
Major AI researchers and textbooks define this field as "the study and design of intelligent agents", in which an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success.
John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines".
