PREFACE

Artificial intelligence is the intelligence exhibited by machines or software. It is the subfield of computer science. Artificial intelligence in the last two decades has greatly improved performance of the manufacturing and service systems. The study in the area of artificial intelligence has given rise to the rapidly growing technology known as expert system. Artificial Intelligence is the combination of science and engineering of developing machines that replicate human level intelligence. It addresses the vital questions of : what information is required in any aspect of thinking; how the knowledge should be represented; and how it should be used. Human capabilities, in future, will be enhanced by intelligent machines in many areas. It focuses on the use of AI to facilitate planning, reasoning, decision making, problem solving and many more.

Artificial intelligence is playing an increasing role in the research of management science and operational research areas. Intelligence is commonly considered as the ability to collect knowledge and reason about knowledge to solve complex problems. In the near Future intelligent machines will replace human capabilities in many areas. Artificial intelligence is the study and developments of intelligent machines and software that can reason, learn, gather knowledge, communicate, manipulate and perceive the objects.

The field of artificial intelligence is truly a fascinating one. Like many other new technologies, AI is changing our lives every day. It is quite possible that the near future will bring intelligent machines to make life more convenient and comfortable for all of us. AI machines do what human programmers tell them to do. There is however a need to understand AI for it is through understanding that we can make the AI technology most beneficial. AI will continue to play an increasingly important role in the different sectors to enhance human effort and increasing efficiency of desired results.

The present edited book entitled ‘Role of Artificial Intelligence in Different Sectors’ is an exploratory and descriptive research and based on primary and secondary data. The data analysis was done in accordance with research objectives and paradigm. Hence will help in developing a better understanding of researcher’s thoughts about the role of artificial intelligence in different sectors.

Thus, the book will be helpful for the researchers of such technologies and. The outcomes will be highly relevant to all the sectors whether it is manufacturing sector, service sector and tertiary sector. The research study has opened new vistas of research, which may guide the researchers to work further on the other dimensions which remains unexplored.
