What is Artificial Intelligence?

"The capacity of computers or other machines to exhibit or simulate intelligent behavior; the field of study concerned with this." - Oxford English Dictionary

Artificial Intelligence is a growing field, and it is not going away. We are already feeling the impacts of AI in our daily life, and the impact on academia cannot be overstated.

The librarians at Watson Library are here to help you navigate the exciting and sometimes unnerving world of AI. If you have questions, you can contact us HERE.
