Abstract
In this chapter we discuss the core aspects of Artificial Intelligence. We define the key terms and show the interconnectedness of terms like neural networks, machine learning and deep learning. We analyse the different goals which can be achieved by using Artificial Intelligence. In addition we present the key fields of application of Artificial Intelligence: national language processing, national image processing, expert systems and robots. Also the global economic effects of Artificial Intelligence are discussed. Here you can learn the different starting points and achievements of the leading countries of the world.
