Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the field of computer science dedicated to creating systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. Here are key points about AI:
– Definition: AI involves designing machines and software that can perform tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making.
– Types: Includes narrow AI (specialized tasks, like virtual assistants) and general AI (broad, human-like intelligence, still theoretical).
– Techniques: Utilizes machine learning, neural networks, natural language processing, and computer vision.
– Applications: Spans various domains, including healthcare (diagnosis), finance (fraud detection), automotive (autonomous driving), and customer service (chatbots).
– Goals: Aim to improve efficiency, automate processes, enhance decision-making, and create systems that can adapt and learn from data.
AI technologies are transforming industries and driving innovation by enabling machines to perform complex tasks and improve over time.
