AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is the branch of computer science focused on creating machines or software that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence.
At its core, AI is about enabling computers to:
- Learn from data (like humans learn from experience)
- Reason and make decisions
- Understand language, images, sounds, and patterns
- Adapt to new information or situations
Main Types of AI
-
Narrow AI (Weak AI)
-
Designed for one specific task (e.g., voice assistants like Siri, Google Translate, spam filters).
-
-
General AI (Strong AI)
-
Can think and learn like a human across many different tasks (this doesn’t exist yet).
-
-
Superintelligent AI
-
Hypothetical future AI that surpasses human intelligence in all areas.
-
Common AI Technologies
-
Machine Learning (ML): Algorithms that improve automatically with data.
-
Deep Learning: A type of ML using neural networks that mimic the human brain.
-
Natural Language Processing (NLP): Understanding and generating human language (like how I chat with you).
-
Computer Vision: Recognizing and interpreting images and videos.
-
Robotics: Machines that can act physically in the real world using AI.
Real-Life Examples
-
Chatbots (like me) answering questions
-
Recommendation systems on Netflix, Amazon, or YouTube
-
Self-driving cars detecting obstacles
-
Medical AI helping doctors diagnose diseases
