2. Problem definition:
How can artificial intelligence be employed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness in purchasing and supply chain management?
3. Current research on the topic
The official idea and definition of Artificial Intelligence were first introduced by John McCarthy at the Dartmouth Conference in 1955f. According to Mr. John McCarthy “, Every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it. An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves”.
In essence, artificial intelligence represents a machine with the ability to solve problems that are currently done by humans with their natural intelligence. A computer will demonstrate a form of intelligence when it is capable to improve itself in solving these problems.
The 1955 proposal defines 7 areas of A.I .:
1. simulating higher functions of the human brain.
2. Programming a computer to use general language.
3. Arranging hypothetical neurons in a manner so that they can form concepts.
4. A way to determine and measure problem complexity.
5. Self-improvement
6. Abstraction: Defined as the quality of dealing with …show more content…
According to Mr. Jack Copeland, who has written several books on A.I. some of the most important factors of intelligence are: generalization learning – learning that enables the learner to be able to perform better in situations not previously encountered, reasoning- the ability to draw conclusions appropriate to the situation at hand, problem solving – given such and such data find x, perception – analyzing a scanned environment and analyzing features and relationships between objects as example self-driving cars, language understanding, understanding language by following syntax and other rules similar to a
