Artificial Intelligence: A New Way to Improve Indian Agriculture

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science concerned with building smart machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. The “AI” term was coined by john McCarthy, an American computer scientist, back in 1956 at The Dartmouth Conference. The term artificial intelligence composed of word “artificial” (made or produced by human being rather than occurring naturally) and “intelligence” (the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills). Artificial intelligence (AI) makes it possible for machines to learn from past experience, adjust to new inputs and have the ability to execute tasks naturally associated with human intelligence, like speech recognition, decisionmaking, visual perception and translating languages.
