AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. It refers to computer systems designed to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence.
These tasks can include:
Learning from data (like recognizing patterns)
Understanding language (chatbots, translation tools)
Recognizing images and sounds (face recognition, speech assistants)
Making decisions or predictions (recommendation systems, fraud detection)
Solving problems (game-playing AIs, route planning)
Simple definition:
AI is when machines are built to think, learn, or make decisions in ways similar to humans.
There are different types of AI:
Narrow AI (Weak AI) – Designed for a specific task
Example: Siri, Google Maps, Netflix recommendations.
General AI (Strong AI) – A theoretical system that can perform any intellectual task a human can. (This does not yet exist.)
Generative AI – AI that creates content like text, images, music, or code (like me).
If you'd like, I can also explain how AI works in a simple way.
