AI: Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a branch of computer science that focuses on creating systems or machines that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. These tasks include things like understanding language, recognizing patterns, solving problems, and making decisions.

 

Imagine teaching a computer to learn from data, just like how we learn from experience. AI systems use large amounts of data and algorithms (which are like step-by-step instructions) to learn from that data and improve over time. For example, AI can be used to power virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa, help doctors diagnose diseases, or even drive cars without human input.

 

AI is becoming increasingly important in many areas of life, from entertainment to healthcare, and it's constantly evolving as new technologies are developed.
