AI, short for Artificial Intelligence, refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using the information), reasoning (using rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self-correction. AI systems are designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation.
There are various approaches to AI, including symbolic or rule-based AI, where systems are programmed with explicit rules; machine learning, where algorithms are trained on data to improve their performance on a specific task; and deep learning, a subset of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks with many layers (hence the term “deep”) to learn patterns from large amounts of data.
AI has applications in numerous fields, including healthcare, finance, education, transportation, entertainment, and more. It continues to evolve rapidly, with ongoing advancements in algorithms, hardware capabilities, and real-world applications.
