Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence.
These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and understanding language.
Why AI is important
AI is used in many areas of modern life:
- Search engines
- Voice assistants
- Recommendation systems
- Self-driving cars
- Chatbots
It helps automate tasks and improve decision-making.
How AI works
AI systems follow a general process:
- Collect data
- Analyze patterns
- Train a model
- Make predictions or decisions
The system improves as it processes more data.
Types of AI
Narrow AI
Designed for specific tasks.
Example: voice assistants, image recognition.
General AI (theoretical)
Would be able to perform any intellectual task like a human.
This type does not fully exist yet.
AI vs Machine Learning
- AI → broader concept (intelligent systems)
- Machine Learning → a method used to achieve AI
Machine learning is a part of artificial intelligence.
Where AI is used
AI is used in:
- Healthcare
- Finance
- Education
- Transportation
- Entertainment
It helps analyze data and make faster decisions.
Why learning AI matters
