Abstract
If there is a chance to improve and upscale the quality and efficiency of systems and operations, why wouldn’t everyone take the opportunity? This is the scope of where we are planning to head, especially with the drive to implement more intelligent solutions for the infrastructures available in today’s society; this drive is being achieved through integrating artificial intelligence (A.I), which is the goal of allowing ‘computer systems to exhibit intelligence in some manner’.
