What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
Software that performs tasks normally needing human intelligence — understanding language, recognizing images, making decisions.
Artificial intelligence is the broad field of building software that performs tasks we associate with human intelligence: understanding language, recognizing images, planning, and making decisions.
Most tools people call "AI" today are powered by machine learning — systems that learn patterns from data rather than following hand-written rules.
