Human neural networks are also responsible for the creation of artificial neural networks; complex computing systems that mimic the memory and learning processes of the brain. Electronic neural networks are a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that can perform a number of tasks that traditionally required human effort. Computers equipped with artificial intelligence can recognize speech, acquire and analyze images, play board games and video games, make medical diagnoses, and translate languages. While researchers seek new uses for AI every day, there are fears that the technology might create widespread economic disruption.
