Preface

Artificial intelligence (AI) is taking on an increasingly important role in our society today. In the early days, machines fulfilled only manual activities. Nowadays, these machines extend their capabilities to cognitive tasks as well. And now AI is poised

Scientists and doctors alike are fascinated by the potential of AI. As computer systems become increasingly more intelligent and capable of storing and processing vast amounts of information, interest in AI has started to grow as well. For example, AI has great potential for use in medical equipment, disease diagnosis and prognosis, medical care, healthcare infrastructure, and image and video processing, among others. Much recent scientific research has focused on using accurate, reliable, and robust intelligent systems to accurately diagnose and predict patterns of disease.

The ability of AI to make informed decisions, learn and perceive the environment, and predict certain behavior, among its many other skills, makes this application of
