What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence by machines. It enables computers to learn from experience, adapt to new inputs, and perform human-like tasks.

AI systems can recognize patterns, make decisions, understand natural language, and even create art and music.

Types of AI

• Narrow AI (Weak AI): Designed for specific tasks (e.g., voice assistants, recommendation systems) • General AI (Strong AI): Hypothetical AI with human-level intelligence across all domains • Superintelligence: AI that surpasses human intelligence (theoretical)

Real-World Applications

• Healthcare: Disease diagnosis, drug discovery • Finance: Fraud detection, algorithmic trading • Transportation: Self-driving cars, route optimization • Entertainment: Content recommendations, game AI • Education: Personalized learning, automated grading
