information processing

Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

The glossary is being gradually proof checked, but currently has many typos and misspellings.

The term information processing is sometimes used as a near synonym for computation, for example to say (following strong AI) that the brain is an 'information processing engine'. The term is also used to talk about more organisational computation, for example the computer systems used in a bank, or to process heath records.
