Artificial Intelligence
A computer science that involves making a computer imitate human intelligence - learning as it goes along.

Jensen's Technology Glossary
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Is a branch (usually called AI/Expert Systems) of computer science, mathematics, psychology, and systems engineering that attempts to make computer "decision making" more like human decision making and to aid or replace human decision makers with machines. Expert systems attempt to utilize the skills, knowledge, and decision evaluation processes of human experts. For example, computers now aid physicians in diagnosing diseases and computer-guided laser rockets virtually replace human guidance decisions. AI failed to live up to its early expectations when it was believed that AI computers would never fail to win at chess and language translators would soon be put out of work by computers. However, applications of AI have been taking place and computers can now play very good chess to a point where they occasionally beat even the grand masters.

Artificial intelligence Definition from Science & Technology Dictionaries & Glossaries

Telecommunication Standard Terms
artificial intelligence (AI)
The capability of a device to perform functions that are normally associated with human intelligence, such as reasoning and optimization through experience. Note: AI is the branch of computer science that attempts to approximate the results of human reasoning by organizing and manipulating factual and heuristic knowledge. Areas of AI activity include expert systems, natural language understanding, speech recognition, vision, and robotics.

Web Dictionary of Cybernetics and Systems
Artificial Intelligence
The branch of computer science that studies how to program computers to exhibit apparently intelligent behavior. The branches of artificial intelligence are usually defined as pattern recognition, theorem proving, language processing, and game playing.
A branch of computer science concerned with the program ming of computers so that they exhibit apparently intelligent behavior, e.g., the design of robots, chess playing automata or theorem proving machines. Branches of artificial intelligence are pattern recognition, problem-solving , language processing and game playing. The only moderate success of reproducing human intelligence has nevertheless stimulated considerable insights into human cognitive processes and the use of computer metaphors in theories of mental activities is rampant (see anthropomorphism ).

Artificial intelligence Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Artificial intelligence
The modern definition of artificial intelligence (or AI) is "the study and design of intelligent agents" where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions which maximizes its chances of success.  John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines." Other names for the field have been proposed, such as computational intelligence,  synthetic intelligence  or computational rationality. The term artificial intelligence is also used to describe a property of machines or programs: the intelligence that the system demonstrates.
