Preface

Nowadays, the development of algorithms and technology that bases on the progress of artificial intelligence is making considerable progress. Various applications can support multiple sectors of human life. In the past, it was only a dream, which was then outlined in an idea, could a machine think? If the machine could think, then how? But if it couldn't, why couldn't the machine think? What is the definition of thinking and mind?

Various definitions and implementations so that machines can think are attracting the thinking of engineers and scientists. From this, it states in the machine's ability to learn or understand from experience entered to be recognized by the machine. Then the process is then formed to understand the contradictory and ambiguous messages so that the machine can respond quickly, precisely, and well to the new situation. So this results in the process of reasoning in solving problems and solving them effectively.

Various perspectives on the definition of intelligence then become possible to make machines intelligent like humans think. These perspectives encourage the field of artificial intelligence in conducting studies to make computers able to do things as well as humans do with various approaches to symbolic programming, problem-solving, and searching. From a business perspective, artificial intelligence is seen as a collection of compelling and methodological tools in solving business problems.

Basically, artificial intelligence consists of 2 main parts, namely the knowledge base and inference engine. The knowledge-base contains facts, theories, thoughts, and component relationships with one another, while the inference engine includes the ability to draw conclusions based on experience related to the representation and duplication of the process through machines. Artificial intelligence is developing continuously until now, and more and more objects can be resolved by artificial intelligence.

The development of artificial intelligence encouraged this conference to take the theme "The Future and Challenges of Extended Intelligence". This conference brought together academics, students, engineers, scientists, practitioners, and people working in the world of artificial intelligence to share their knowledge to increase the realm of artificial intelligence.
