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 use rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self-correction. AI can be categorized into two main types: narrow AI, which is designed to perform a narrow task (like facial recognition or internet searches), and general AI, which is capable of performing any intellectual task that a human can do.

AI technologies utilize various methods, including Machine Learning, where algorithms improve automatically through experience and the use of data, and Deep Learning, which mimics the human brain’s neural networks to analyze complex patterns. Applications of AI are widespread and include areas such as natural language processing (enabling computers to understand and respond to human language), robotics, computer vision, and more. Overall, AI aims to enhance efficiencies, automate processes, and provide insights that improve decision-making across various sectors.
