Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science focused on creating intelligent machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, understanding natural language, and perception. AI systems are designed to simulate human cognitive functions and can be classified into narrow AI, which performs specific tasks, and general AI, which can perform any intellectual task a human can. AI techniques include machine learning, where systems learn from data; natural language processing (NLP), which enables understanding and generation of human language; and computer vision, which allows machines to interpret visual information. AI is widely applied in various domains such as healthcare for diagnostics, finance for fraud detection, and autonomous vehicles for navigation. The chapter also discusses the use of AI in natural language processing, exemplified by voice assistants and chatbots that understand and respond to human queries, enhancing user interaction with technology.

• AI enables machines to perform tasks requiring human-like intelligence.
• Includes subfields like machine learning, NLP, and computer vision.
• Narrow AI focuses on specific tasks; general AI aims for broader capabilities.
