Abstract

Artificial Intelligence is the latest buzzword and one of the hottest topics in the scientific community today. Some experts are proclaiming that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already emerged as one of the most significant technologies of this century. Proponents are declaring that it will completely revolutionize management and the way we use computers. If these claims are even half true, then AI is bound to have a profound effect upon the art and science of simulation. The purpose of this paper is to provide a current overview of this rapidly evolving field, examine the potential of AI in simulation and the inevitability of it. We propose to explore the probable impact as well as forecast the directions it is likely to take.
