With the developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence, technological advancements have been
made to turn normal machines into smart machines that have an intelligence similar to that of
human beings.

CONCEPT OF INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence is the ability to solve problems, understand complex
ideas, use natural language fluently, classify, generalize, and adapt
to new situations.

Elements of Intelligence
Intelligence is intangible and cannot be seen. It can be measured
to certain extents through standardised tests. Intelligence is
composed of the following elements:
1. Reasoning: It is the set of processes that enables us to provide the basis for judgement, making
decisions, and making prediction.

2. Learning: It is the activity of gaining knowledge
or skill by studying, practising, being taught,
or experiencing something.
3. Problem Solving: It is the process of
perceiving and attempting to arrive at a
desired solution from a current situation by
following a path that is blocked by known or unknown obstacles. Problem solving also includes
decision making, which is the process of selecting the best suitable alternative out of multiple
alternatives to reach the desired goal.
4. Perception: It is the process of acquiring, interpreting, selecting, and organising sensory
information.

5. Linguistic Intelligence: It is one’s ability to use, comprehend, speak, and write the verbal and
written language.
