**Chapter 9 127** Quest for I (Intelligence) in AI (Artificial Intelligence): A Non-Elusive Attempt *by Kumar S. Ray*

Preface

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is widely known as a knowledge field that aims to make computers, robots, or products that mimic the way humans think. In the current scientific community, AI is an intensively studied area composed of multiple branches. Historically, machine learning and optimization are two of the most studied fronts thanks to the development of novel and challenging research topics such as transfer optimization, swarm robotics, and drift detection and adaptation to evolving conditions in real-time. In addition, the emergence of new paradigms such as deep learning and explainable AI has kept this field as one of the principal cornerstones of computer science. This book collects radically new theoretical insights, reporting recent developments and evincing innovative applications regarding AI methods in all fields of knowledge. It also presents works focused on new paradigms and novel branches of AI science. This volume is a great resource for researchers,

lecturers, and practitioners interested in AI and its potential applications.
