Synopsis Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a relatively new technology and a vast growing field. Even though some foundation had been laid earlier, AI began in earnest with the emergence of modern computers during 1940s and 1950s. It was the capability of these new electronic machines to store a large amount of information and process at a very high speed, that gave researchers a vision of building systems which could emulate some human abilities. Initially, AI was designed by the researchers with the objective of helping organizations to manage knowledge assets and deal with complexity; helping experts to solve difficult analytic problems and to design new devices; to learn from examples and to provide answers to English questions using both structured data and free text. It is useful in a broad base of domains and has pervaded almost all the realms in which it offers the potential for broad applications, right from Wall street to Cookie stores. It is in this scenario of emerging trends and boom in Artificial Intelligence that this book “Artificial Intelligence in the Real World” brings out the various perspectives of AI, its techniques and applications, which have a profound impact on the real world. This book presents a series of well-written and racy articles, which bring out the essence of Artificial Intelligence in reality. It is hoped that this book would be of immense value to the AI professionals, teachers, researchers and students, as a reference book on the reality of Artificial Intelligence.
