Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using it), reasoning (the ability to apply rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self-correction. AI can be categorised into two primary types: narrow AI, which is designed for specific tasks (such as speech recognition or image analysis), and general AI, which possesses the ability to understand and reason across a wide range of subjects at a human-like level. AI technologies often rely on algorithms, neural networks, and large datasets to perform tasks and improve over time through machine learning. The field encompasses a variety of applications, including robotics, natural language processing, and data analysis, leading to advancements across diverse sectors such as healthcare, finance, and transportation.
