Understanding Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer science that builds systems capable of performing tasks that normally require human i
Core concept
AI systems can learn from data, recognise patterns, make decisions, and even understand language, mimicking abilities we usually associate with human thinking.
How it works
AI is broadly divided into narrow AI, which performs a specific task very well (like voice assistants or spam filters), and general AI, a still-theoretical AI with human-like broad intelligence.
Why it matters
AI is used in many everyday applications today, like recommendation systems on streaming apps, navigation apps predicting traffic, and voice assistants like Siri or Alexa.
Key detail
Understanding AI's basics helps us use these technologies wisely and prepares us to think critically about how AI will continue shaping our future.
