Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using it), reasoning (the ability to solve problems through logical deduction), and self-correction. AI can be categorized into two main types: narrow AI, which is designed to perform a specific task (like facial recognition or playing chess), and general AI, which would possess human-like cognitive abilities to understand and learn any intellectual task that a human can do. AI technologies utilize various approaches, such as machine learning, natural language processing, and robotics, to perform tasks that traditionally required human intelligence. The applications of AI span multiple sectors including healthcare, finance, education, transportation, and more, enhancing efficiency and enabling new capabilities.
