  In 1956, when John McCarthy held the first academic session on the particular topic, the term artificial intelligence was introduced and made open to the audience as a technological innovation for an enterprise-level transformation. But the path to understanding whether machines can really think in a human way started long before that. Artificial Intelligence or AI can be defined as a machine, robot, or a product and service strategy to determine how people can think and act logically in a given situation. AI is a study of how human brain thinks, learns, decides, and works, when trying to resolve ensuing problems. 
  And eventually, the study of AI has created intelligent software systems. Artificial intelligence carries a goal in mind to improve processes related to human knowledge, such as learning, reasoning and above all, problem-solving. 
  It is a widely accepted and age-old proven truth that the very word viz., intelligence is intangible by nature. It comprises of learning, reasoning, perceiving, problem-solving and of course, assimilates the element of linguistic intelligence. Similarly, the functional realm of artificial intelligence revolves around reasoning, knowledge representation, learning, planning, realizing, processing of natural language and the freedom to move and manipulate objects. The general intelligence sector has long-term intentions.

  A Macat Analysis of Amartya...

  Economist Amartya Sen’s 1997 work Development as Freedom presents a “middle way” approach to how we should look at international development, based on the idea that its success or failure cannot be measured by income alone. Having grown up in India, Sen brings his own understanding of what poverty really means to the issue, arguing that above all the process and goal of development must be human freedom. He backs up this idea through his concept of “capabilities”—the capacity a person has to do the things he or she believes make for a good life. Only by looking at the “capability set” of groups within different societies is it possible to truly evaluate and compare relative freedoms. And only then can the real impact of development be measured. Sen acknowledges the roles of economic markets and states in expanding freedom, and concludes that democratic control is crucial if development is to succeed in a meaningful way. Development as Freedom is a key text in the field of development economics, because it helped create a way of looking at the subject that pushed well beyond traditional models.
