Abstract

The field of computer science has revolutionized every field of human endeavor. With the use of cleverly designed programs, computers have improved the quality and speed of productivity. Computers have become very useful machines, executing smart ideas rapidly. Artificial Intelligence seeks to take computing to further heights, building machines which do not just execute smart ideas, but think up smart ideas. This paper considers two recent achievements in the field of Artificial Intelligence, by rating their performance, in line with the goal of artificial intelligence.
