We get to hear a lot of hype about AI and its applications. AI eases human life or as some believe it is dangerous. This article will give you a brief idea about AI, its application and the impact on the world.    What is AI? AI is a contrast to natural intelligence exhibited by humans. It is a machine which is designed to perceive the events and take actions with maximum probability of success. In a simpler word, the machine mimics human minds. AI replicates the cognitive functions of the human brain which is mainly learning and problem-solving.  As the hype grew through many years, a term came into picture i.e. "AI Effect". It means "whatever hasn't been done yet". Some of the AI capabilities include:  Understanding human speech Competing in strategic games Automated cars Routing in content delivery network Military simulations AI was founded as a part of academic discipline in 1956.

Blurb Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. All the slaves lead a hellish existence, but Cora has it worse than the most; an outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is approaching womanhood where it is clear that even greater pain awaits. When Caesar, a slave recently arrived from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they take the perilous decision to escape the North.   In Whitehead's razor-sharp imagining of the antebellum South, the Underground Railroad has assumed a physical form: a dilapidated box-car pulled along subterranean tracks by a steam locomotive, picking up fugitives wherever it can. Thus Cora embarks on a harrowing journey, seeking true freedom, pursued relentlessly by a terrifying slave catcher named Ridgeway.  As Whitehead brilliantly recreates the unique terrors for black people in the pre-Civil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America, from the brutal importation of Africa...

The writing is really good and also the characters are so cute. I really liked the idea of finding a perfect partner using concepts of research methodology and statistics. I guess some of my friends could use the same techniques to find a partner 😄 😄😄since they are working in the field of data analysis.  Characters Don Tillman:   He is a weird science guy. He is too nerdy similar to Sheldon Cooper. Soc...
