Artificial Intelligence (AI)
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 (using rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self-correction. AI is used in a wide range of applications, from automated speech recognition to autonomous vehicles and medical diagnostics. The goal of AI is to create systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. This involves leveraging algorithms and vast amounts of data to enable machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs, and perform human-like tasks.
AI encompasses various subfields, including machine learning, which focuses on the development of algorithms that allow computers to learn from and make decisions based on data. Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, involves neural networks with many layers (hence the term “deep”) designed to recognize patterns in large amounts of data. These technologies power AI applications such as natural language processing, image and speech recognition, and predictive analytics. As AI continues to advance, its impact on industries and society is profound, with ongoing debates about its ethical implications and potential future developments.
