Abstract

Artificial intelligence is a concept that refers to the ability of computers to perform human-like cognitive features, including learning, problem-solving, perception, decision making, speech, and language. As can be understood from this definition, artificial intelligence is an interdisciplinary subject. Although its past is not as old as psychology, it is actually quite intertwined with psychology. Many areas of psychology such as cognitive psychology, clinical psychology, and learning psychology are closely related to artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is a relatively new concept that we use in many areas of our lives today, making our work much easier. Navigation and mapping, composing music, self-driving cars, and personal assistants like Siri and Alexa are some of the simplest examples. This AI that we use is considered "weak AI" and is a simple form of AI. However, in the future, "strong AI" or a superintelligence that can perform most or all cognitive tasks better than humans is being considered.
