Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are designed to think and act like humans. This includes the ability to learn from experience, adapt to new information, understand natural language, recognize patterns, and solve problems. AI systems can be classified into two main categories: narrow AI, which is designed to perform a specific task (such as voice recognition or image analysis), and general AI, which aims to understand and reason across a wide range of tasks at a level comparable to human intelligence.

Currently, the most prevalent forms of AI are based on Machine Learning algorithms, which allow systems to improve their performance by analyzing large sets of data. Techniques such as neural networks, Deep Learning, and natural language processing are widely used to enable computers to carry out complex tasks, from playing chess to driving cars. The field of AI continues to evolve rapidly, with applications spanning numerous industries, including healthcare, finance, transportation, and entertainment, and raises important ethical and societal discussions about its impact on the future.
