This document provides an overview of artificial intelligence (AI), including its history, applications, and types. It discusses early milestones in AI development as well as modern advances in deep learning, big data, and efforts to create artificial general intelligence. The document also examines what comprises AI and how intelligent agents are structured, defined in terms of their perception, environment, actuators, and sensors (PEAS). It explores rational agents and the Turing test as a way to evaluate machine intelligence.
