difference between artificial intelligence and automation
On the other hand Artificial Intelligence is a science and engineering of making intelligent machines (according to John McCarthy, person who coined this term). AI is all about try to make machines or software mimic human behavior and intelligence. Automation can or can not be based on Artificial Intelligence. Automation can be provided by placing some sensors and making something do corresponding to sensor readings. If you want to make the same thing to be an AI, then you might need to do extra bit of work.
