Problem solving is one of the core functions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) — enabling machines to make decisions, reason logically, and find solutions to complex challenges.
In AI, a “problem” is defined as a situation where an agent must find a sequence of actions that lead from an initial state to a desired goal state.
The process involves:
- Defining the problem clearly
- Representing knowledge in a way that machines can process
- Searching for possible solutions using algorithms
- Selecting the most optimal solution based on cost or performance
From pathfinding algorithms in navigation systems to diagnostic reasoning in healthcare, AI problem solving allows machines to perform tasks once reserved for humans — logically, efficiently, and autonomously.
