The idea of intelligence is controversial. The goal of artificial intelligence is to figure out how to be as human as possible. Humans are good at more complicated tasks that involve context, or emotion, like identifying the age of a person based on looking at them in a particular environment. Computers are great at recognizing and measuring patterns based on large sets of data, like weather patterns, for example. People and computers are good at different things. When we take this process of perceiving and acting and program it to a machine, we call that artificial intelligence. We then process that perceived information, make decisions, and take certain actions.

As humans, we perceive the real world around us.
