Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human
intelligence in machines, allowing them to perform tasks that
typically require human intelligence. These tasks include learning,
reasoning, problem-solving, understanding natural language,
recognizing patterns, and adapting to new situations. In essence,
AI aims to create computer systems or machines that can mimic,
to some degree, the cognitive functions associated with human
intelligence.
AI encompasses a wide range of techniques, approaches, and
technologies, including:
● Machine Learning: AI systems that can improve their
performance on tasks through exposure to data and
experience.
● Deep Learning: A subset of machine learning that uses neural
networks with many layers (deep neural networks) to model
complex patterns in data.
● Natural Language Processing (NLP): AI systems that
understand, interpret, and generate human language, enabling
applications like chatbots and language translation.
● Computer Vision: AI systems that can interpret and
understand visual information from images and videos,
enabling tasks like image recognition and object detection.
● Robotics: AI-driven machines and robots that can perform
physical tasks and interact with the environment.
● Expert Systems: AI systems that use knowledge
representation and reasoning to solve complex problems in
specific domains.
● Reinforcement Learning: AI systems that learn by trial and
error, receiving feedback through rewards or penalties, often
used in areas like game playing and autonomous control.
● Autonomous Systems: AI systems that can operate
independently, such as self-driving cars and drones.
