Understanding Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a branch of computer science that focuses on creating systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include learning from data, understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, solving problems, and even making decisions.
