Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using it), reasoning (the ability to solve problems using the information), and self-correction. AI systems can be categorized into two main types: narrow AI, which is designed and trained for a specific task, such as voice recognition or playing chess, and general AI, which aims to perform any intellectual task that a human can do.

AI technologies rely heavily on Machine Learning, where algorithms analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed for that specific task. Other subfields of AI include natural language processing (NLP), robotics, and computer vision, each focusing on different aspects of intelligence and interaction with the world. The applications of AI are vast and include areas such as healthcare, finance, transportation, and entertainment, where they enhance efficiency, improve decision-making, and create innovative solutions to complex problems.
