Artificial intelligence (AI) is the field of building computer systems that perform tasks associated with human reasoning and perception, such as understanding language, recognizing patterns, planning, and decision making. From early symbolic programs to milestones like computers defeating world champions in chess and Go, progress has accelerated with machine learning and neural networks powering breakthroughs in vision, speech, and robotics.

Eastern philosophy encompasses the diverse intellectual traditions that arose in East and South Asia, spanning Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, and related schools of thought. Major currents include Confucianism, Daoism (Taoism), Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, alongside classical Indian systems such as Nyaya, Samkhya, Vedanta, Yoga, and Mimamsa, as well as East Asian developments like Chan/Zen and Neo-Confucianism.
