Introduction.
Artificial intelligence is the branch of computer science which imitates the intelligence of human behaviors or Is the capability of a device to perform functions that are normally associated with human intelligence e.g. reasoning, thinking, interpreting .
This technology attempts to see if the mechanical devices can be demonstrated to behave like human being.
Artificial intelligence is the result of two words, Artificial and intelligence.
Artificial: this refers to man made things, or not made of natural things but made to be like something that is real or natural.
Intelligence: the ability of learning, understanding capability, reasoning and thinking capacity.
Robotics: Is the science and technology of robots and their design, manufacture and applications
In 1950’s the work of Turing put Artificial intelligence in a new face because of his test.
Due to Turing test many scientist started to work on the artificial intelligence which lead to discovery of robots. For example the Nomad robot explores remote regions of Antarctica looking for meteorite samples.
There were other advancement of AI, with significant demonstrations in machine learning, intelligent tutoring, case-based reasoning, multi-agent planning, scheduling, uncertain reasoning, data mining, natural language understanding and translation, vision, virtual reality, games, and other topics.
The technology is characterized with some characteristics; Reasoning (e.g. Voice recognition), Multi-agent Planning, Communication ability, Identification (e.g. Finger print & The Nomad robot explores.), Manipulation of object and Interpretation.
Presently there are some artificial intelligence machine such us;
Machine translator, Location detection e.g. tags, Automatic essay assessment , Electronic sensor e.g. weapons, drugs etc, Black box in an airplane, Robots.
Artificial Intelligence is applied in many areas such as in supermarket, in scientific experimentation, in sport and games, in domestic activities, in location detection, security affairs and others.
Advantages of Artificial Intelligence.
As explained above the areas under which the technology is applied there are also some of the advantages as follows.
Artificial Intelligence simplifies work, it is efficiency and accuracy,it enhance good communication and also it reduce miscellaneous ambiguity.

Disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence.
It requires highly skilled experts, It lead into loss of job, It is hard to implement especially in third world countries and it is expensive.

My comments on the topic.
The topic is very interesting but to implement this requires a skilled person. The idea of making machine which will perform activities as human being is great but it is not easy because machines can not think and understand things like human being. The efficiency and accuracy of machines is that they do not became tied and not forget things like human being .
There is still a great deal for experts to work hard in oder to come up with machines which can resemble like human to some functions.
