In simple words "Artificial Intelligence is about making computer do what humans can do". Its about designing intelligent computer system that can work like a human. The advantage Artificial Intelligence can have over human behaviour is, they can not make mistake.

Artificial Intelligence is a branch of science, philosophy and engineering. Knowledge of Science, Philosophy and Engineering is used to develop an intelligent system that can work as a human mind, has a life, stores information and behaves intelligently. Artificial Intelligence itself has many branches like; Knowledge based system, Artificial Neural network, Evolutionary computing, Fussy logic, Swarm Inteligence, knowledge based system and Natural language processing.

We use AI to solve our problems, problems can be structures or unstructured. Different techniques are used to solve these problems like Algorithmic and Heuristic. AI can be helpful in almost all the fields. In future AI is going to be used for Intelligent agent, Artificial Life, Intelligent Robot etc.
