coined in 1955 by John McCarthy et al., highlights that AI is human-made and operates based on algorithms rather than natural human intelligence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI&#8217;s Evolution:<\/strong> AI has progressed through various stages, from rule-based systems to advanced machine learning, but the core concept of it being &#8220;artificial&#8221; reflects its reliance on data-driven computation rather than true understanding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ongoing Debate:<\/strong> The debate about AI\u2019s nature persists, with differing views on what constitutes true intelligence, influencing discussions on job displacement, ethics, and regulation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Real-world Applications:<\/strong> An exhibition at the summit showcases AI&#8217;s practical uses across multiple sectors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI&#8217;s Promise vs. Limits:<\/strong> While AI performs precise and complex tasks better than humans (e.g., search engines, language translation), it lacks the emotional and empathetic depth of natural human intelligence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Future Implications:<\/strong> The term &#8220;artificial intelligence&#8221;
