[First para.]: "The many foundational ways of understanding the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) encompass logic, probability, continuous mathematics, reasoning, perception, and law (among other subjects). Broadly speaking, AI refers to any machine or program capable of recreating one or more elements of human intelligence. It is where machines, artificial agents, and further complex systems mimic cognitive functions, such as reasoning, problem-solving, and learning, that humans would associate with their own. It is seen to enable people to accomplish more by collaborating with smart software. One can think of it as 'putting a more human face on technology'; a technology 'that can learn from the vast amounts of data that are available in the modern world'; a type of technology 'that understands our kind of language and respond[s] in kind ... [and] can see and interpret the world the way that we do'. AI is generally considered a product of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)."

Chapter encompasses pp.43-88.
