According to classical physics, a black hole is a region of space traditionally considered external, and once it forms, it remains forever. It can absorb anything that

Introduction Humanity’s continuous goal to replicate the cognitive functions of the human brain through machines has evolved alongside the development of science and technology. After many years of scientific progress, the 20th century marked the beginning of major breakthroughs that laid the foundation for Artificial Intelligence. After several decades of development, Artificial Intelligence technology has been used in many fields of today’s society. Specifically, there are
