Artificial intelligence (AI) is the capability of computational systems to perform tasks typically associated with human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and decision-making. AI systems learn from data, identifying patterns to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed for every scenario. AI is not a single technology but a broad field encompassing machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing (NLP), and computer vision.
AI is transforming industries by improving efficiency, accuracy, and innovation. It is used in healthcare for disease diagnosis and personalized care, in finance for fraud detection and risk management, and in manufacturing for optimizing processes and reducing costs. AI is also used in everyday applications such as virtual assistants, recommendation systems, and autonomous vehicles. Ethical considerations are crucial in AI development, addressing issues like fairness, transparency, privacy, and accountability to ensure AI aligns with human values.
