AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science that focuses on creating systems and machines capable of tasks that normally require human intelligence. These tasks include reasoning, learning, decision-making, problem-solving, perception, understanding language, and recognizing patterns. AI technologies use algorithms and vast amounts of data to simulate human thought and automate complex tasks, and they encompass subfields like machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing. AI powers diverse applications such as search engines, recommendation systems, virtual assistants, autonomous vehicles, and generative tools for creating text, images, and more.
