"Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence) exhibited by machines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine). In computer science (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science), an ideal "intelligent" machine is a flexible rational agent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_agent) that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal.[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence#cite_note-Intelligent_agents-1) Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mind), such as "learning" and "problem solving". -- Wikipedia

Our distinguished panel will discuss the latest developments in AI (artificial intelligence).

Please come with questions and comments.
