Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science, which aims to create an artificial system that can solve computational problems and think and communicate like animals and humans. Whether in theory or in application, researchers are required to have detailed and comprehensive professional knowledge in many disciplines, such as applied mathematics, logic, semiotics, electrical engineering, philosophy of mind, neurophysiology and social intelligence.
It is used to promote the field of intelligent research, or applied to other disciplines that need computational understanding and modeling, such as finance or physical science. When Alan Turing, the pioneer of artificial intelligence, put forward the Turing experiment to answer the ultimate question: "Can computers think?" When the field of artificial intelligence began to become formal?

Consciousness and artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is essentially a simulation of human thinking information process.
The simulation of human thinking can be carried out in two ways. One is structural simulation, which imitates the structural mechanism of the human brain and creates a "brain-like" machine; The second is functional simulation, which temporarily abandons the internal structure of the human brain and simulates it from its functional process. The appearance of modern electronic computer is a simulation of the thinking function of human brain and an information process of human brain thinking.
Weak artificial intelligence is developing rapidly now, especially after the economic crisis in 2008, the United States, Japan and Europe all hope to realize re-industrialization through robots. Industrial robots are developing at an unprecedented speed, which further promotes the continuous breakthrough of weak artificial intelligence and related industries. Many jobs that must be done by people can now be done by robots.
