Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems. It encompasses a wide range of capabilities, including learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using it), reasoning (the use of rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI can be categorized into two primary types: narrow AI, which is designed to perform specific tasks (such as voice assistants, recommendation systems, or image recognition), and general AI, which aims to possess the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a variety of tasks similarly to a human being. AI technologies utilize various techniques, including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and robotics, making it a rapidly evolving field with applications spanning healthcare, finance, transportation, entertainment, and many other sectors. As research and development continue, AI’s potential to transform industries and society at large is becoming increasingly apparent.
