Man has always been trying to develop machines that make his day-to-day work easier. New techniques are developed on a continual basis to improve the functioning of already existing one. With advancements in science and technology, machines are taught to handle more complicated tasks; in short they are made more intelligent than the previous forms. Artificial intelligence is nothing but inducing intelligence into machines externally. The history of artificial intelligence can be traced back to the period of 800 B.C. Egypt. The Egyptians had constructed a statue of
Amun that could move its hands up and down. One can say that the statue of Amun served as an inspiration to make further progress in the field of artificial intelligence.
