Short for Artificial Intelligence, a field of computer science focused on creating systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include problem-solving, decision-making, language processing, visual perception, and learning from experience. AI leverages algorithms, data, and computing power to simulate aspects of human cognition, enabling applications such as autonomous vehicles, voice recognition, recommendation systems, and image analysis. AI technologies are categorized into subfields like machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing, each specializing in different aspects of emulating intelligent behavior.
