1. What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, language understanding, and even creativity. AI systems can analyze vast amounts of data, identify patterns, make decisions, and continuously improve through feedback.
1.1 Categories of AI
AI can be categorized into three broad types:
• Narrow AI (Weak AI): Designed to perform a narrow task (e.g., facial recognition or internet searches). Most existing AI systems fall into this category.
• General AI (Strong AI): A hypothetical AI that can perform any intellectual task a human can. It can reason, learn, and apply knowledge across domains.
• Superintelligent AI: A theoretical AI that surpasses human intelligence across all fields, potentially changing the course of human history.

2. Historical Development of AI
2.1 Early Concepts and Foundations
The idea of machines that think dates back centuries, with myths and automata in ancient cultures. However, the formal concept of AI began in the mid-20th century.
• 1950: Alan Turing proposed the “Turing Test” to evaluate a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior.
• 1956: The term “Artificial Intelligence” was coined at the Dartmouth Conference by John McCarthy and others.
• 1960s–70s: Development of early AI programs and expert systems.
• 1980s: AI winter due to unmet expectations and reduced funding.
• 1997: IBM’s Deep Blue defeated chess champion Garry Kasparov, marking a milestone in AI capabilities.
• 2010s–Present: Rapid growth driven by big data, improved algorithms, and powerful hardware.

The Pala kings were people-protectors. In fact, Gopal was elected to the throne only to end Matsya Nyaya. Bhagalpur Abhiledh states that Dharmapala imposed only fair taxes on the people. Rampala abolished the unjust taxes imposed by Bhima. The Pala rulers were lovers of learning. Vikramshila University was established by Dharmapala. He opened 50 other learning centers. A famous Buddhist scholar named Haribhadra was to be present in his court. Devpala appointed another Buddhist scholar named Veerdeva as the vice president of Nalanda Vihar. Among other scholars of this period, Sandhyakar Nandi, Chakrapani Dutta and Vajradatta are especially famous. Sandhyakar Nandi wrote the famous poem of this period 'Ramcharit'.
