Artificial Intelligence

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 (the use of rules to reach conclusions), and self-correction. AI can be categorized into two main types: narrow AI, which is designed to perform a specific task (like voice recognition or playing chess), and general AI, which possesses the ability to understand and reason across a variety of tasks at a level comparable to a human.

AI technologies include machine learning, where algorithms improve automatically through experience, and natural language processing, which enables machines to understand and interpret human language. The applications of AI are vast and diverse, impacting areas such as healthcare, finance, transportation, and entertainment. As AI continues to evolve, it raises various ethical and societal considerations, including the implications of automation, data privacy, and the potential for bias in decision-making processes.
