While a definition of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with widespread acceptance has not yet emerged, Ireland’s national AI strategy: AI - Here for Good, A National Artificial Intelligence Strategy for Ireland adopts the OECD definition as follows:
“An AI system is a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. AI systems are designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy.”
In reality, this means that AI enables machines to demonstrate human-like capabilities such as reasoning, learning, planning and creativity. AI-enabled technical systems are capable of perceiving their environment and using this capability to achieve goals, provide solutions to problems, work autonomously, and adapt their behaviour based on interpretation of the effects of previous activities.
Though the far-reaches of what constitutes an AI system may be difficult to define, in the real world we use AI on a daily basis for countless activities, such as translating text, generating subtitles, filtering email spam, personalised shopping.
