Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems. This can include a range of capabilities such as learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using it), reasoning (the ability to solve problems and make decisions), and self-correction. AI can be categorized into two main types: narrow AI, which is designed for specific tasks (like virtual assistants or recommendation systems), and general AI, which has the potential to understand and reason across a wide array of tasks akin to human intelligence. Key components of AI include Machine Learning, natural language processing, and robotics, all of which contribute to the development of systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
