Abstract - Currently, Artificial Intelligence technology has captured significant interest as it has improved human life in numerous ways and yet is seen as one of the most crucial technologies. Artificial intelligence is influencing our future more profoundly than any other invention of this century.
The innovation of AI has reshaped various sectors such as Banking, Financial Services and Insurance, Education sector, Healthcare, Art, Games, Telecommunications, Government and public administration, etc. Undoubtedly, it has enhanced living standards and simplified life, but it has radically and adversely impacted human life. The ongoing contentious debate regarding artificial intelligence concerns its potential impact on human beings, whether it will be advantageous or detrimental. Key Words: Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Intelligent Systems, Components of AI, Subfields of AI, Advantages, Disadvantages
1. INTRODUCTION
To replicate human intelligence in machines, it is essential to first understand human intelligence. This involves exploring the inner workings of the human brain and then comparing computer programs to understand its functions. This is the objective of cognitive science.
1.2 Artificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence is employed in everyday tasks such as: Social media interactions, Digital assistants (e.g., Siri, Alexa), Autonomous vehicles, Email filtering and management, Web search engines, Online shopping and personalized recommendations, everything ranging from microelectronic devices to robotic planetary explorers. These changes have been largely unnoticed. Herbert Simon's statement from 1957 is commonly referenced as "My goal is not to surprise or shock you, but the simplest way I can summarize is that there are now machines in the world that think, learn, and create".
Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary field that studies the human mind and its processes, including perception, thinking, memory, learning, and language. It integrates knowledge and methodologies from various disciplines such as psychology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, and education to understand how the mind works and how mental functions are realized in the brain. Cognitive psychologists consider that humans can be seen as data processing systems and that the functions of a Impact Factor value: 8.226
The term Artificial Intelligence (AI) was introduced by emeritus Stanford Professor John McCarthy in 1955 in connection with a proposed summer workshop at Dartmouth College. The workshop marked the moment when AI established its name and is widely recognized as the birth of AI. He defined AI as “the science and engineering of making intelligent machines”. According to the definition of AI,

Technological advancements enabled AI to incorporate principles and ideas from cognitive science.
1.2.1 Definition
We humans identify ourselves as Homo sapiens — "wise man" because our intelligence holds paramount importance to us.

computer and the human mind are analogous – they encode and store information then produce outputs.

a) It was designed to mimic human behaviour through programs and robots, primarily to simplify human work. b) Artificial intelligence refers to computer systems that can execute complex tasks previously achievable only by humans. c) Any program capable of performing tasks typically associated with human abilities can be classified as artificial intelligence.
