Introduction
Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" (AI) is used to describe
machines/computers that mimic "cognitive" functions which humans associate
with other human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving".
Artificial intelligence can be classified into three different types of
systems: analytical, human-inspired, and humanized artificial intelligence.
Analytical AI has only characteristics consistent with cognitive
intelligence; generating cognitive representation of the world and using
learning based on past experience to inform future decisions.
Human-inspired AI has elements from cognitive and emotional intelligence;
understanding human emotions, in addition to cognitive elements, and
considering them in their decision making. Humanized AI shows
characteristics of all types of competencies (i.e., cognitive, emotional,
and social intelligence), is able to be self-conscious and is self-aware in
interactions with others.

Artificial intelligence was founded as an academic discipline in 1956. For
most of its history, AI research has been divided into subfields based on
technical considerations, such as particular goals (e.g., "robotics" or
"machine learning"), the use of particular tools (e.g., "logic" or
artificial neural networks), or deep philosophical differences. Subfields
have also been based on social factors such as particular institutions or
the work of particular researchers. This publication focuses on the various
applied uses of AI in the field of international business.

Objective
The objective of this publication is to provide a wide variety of topics as
they pertain to artificial intelligence applications within the context of
international business in one 2-volume source. This publication will impact
the field of international business because there is scant extant
literature on artificial intelligence as it pertains to international
business.

Target Audience
The primary target audience for this publication is scholars and
practitioners who need a Reference resource on artificial intelligence as
it pertains to international business and marketing. The secondary audience
is graduate students involved in international business and related areas.
