ABSTRACT

One of the worst definitions of artificial intelligence is by Barr and Feigenbaum in their reference text, The Handbook of Artificial Intelligence, ‘Artificial intelligence is part of computer science concerned with designing intelligent computer systems, that is, systems that exhibit the characteristics we associate with intelligence in human behaviour — understanding languages, learning, reasoning, solving problems, and so on’. This is poor that it links artificial intelligence only with the subject of computer science. Secondly, it points only to computer systems, no others.
