En este artículo he recogido diferentes definiciones de Inteligencia Artificial. Mi definición favorita de inteligencia artificial es emplear las propias palabras del término IA: el esfuerzo humano por construir inteligencia de forma artificial. Aunque sabes que el concepto «inteligencia» es escurridizo.
Si quieres más, aquí tienes algunas definiciones que recogen Russell y Norvig (2016) y que descubrí gracias a Murat Durmus, y otras que descubrí en el informe AI Watch. Defining Artificial Intelligence 2.0. Aquí van, espero que te gusten:
…every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it. An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves… the artificial intelligence problem is taken to be that of making a machine behave in ways that would be called intelligent if a human were so behaving»
McCartHy et al., 1955
AI is «the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men»
Minsky, 1969
