Hello everyone, I am Natesh Subramanian. As a child, I was fascinated by the concept of "intelligence" and its implications. It is often assumed that intelligence is a term that is associated with vitalism, something that is present only in living beings like us Humans. I wondered: what enables inanimate objects, like computers and machines, to exhibit intelligent behavior? My quest for answers led me to Artificial Intelligence (AI).
