What is artificial intelligence (AI)?
AI refers to the development of computer systems that are able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as recognizing patterns, learning from experience, and problem-solving.
AI systems can be trained to perform these tasks through the use of algorithms and machine learning techniques, which allow them to analyze and interpret data and make decisions based on that analysis. AI has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of many tasks, and is being applied in a wide range of industries and applications.
