Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science focused on creating machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and understanding language. AI systems learn from vast amounts of data, identifying patterns to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed for every scenario. AI is not a single technology but a collection of different approaches and techniques.
AI applications are widespread, appearing in advanced web search engines, recommendation systems, virtual assistants, and autonomous vehicles. AI can minimize manual errors, eliminate repetitive tasks, work independently, and accelerate research and development. It is used daily by a large percentage of the population. AI relies on data, algorithms, and computing power. Algorithms are sets of rules that AI systems use to process data and make decisions.
