Artificial intelligence (AI) is a set of data-oriented techniques and algorithms that are arranged to make predictions or deductions from new data in light of past data. The term AI was coined by John McCarthy as “the science and engineering of developing intelligent computer programs”. Since AI is also a collection of various technologies aimed at automating human intellectual processes, different AI technologies are designed for different practices (1). These technologies are reckoned to significantly reduce the need for human labor power in many fields in the near future.
