Artificial Intelligence, or AI, refers to the ability of machines to mimic human intelligence, learning, reasoning, and problem-solving to perform tasks with minimal human input. It enables computers to perceive their environment, process information, and make decisions, much like how humans use experience and logic to act.
At its core, AI combines algorithms, data, and computational models to replicate human-like cognition. Machine Learning (ML) allows systems to learn from data, while Natural Language Processing (NLP) helps them understand and respond to human language. Generative AI takes it further, creating new text, images, and designs based on learned patterns.
AI is all around us. Powering recommendation engines on Netflix, optimizing routes in Google Maps, enabling face ID on phones, and even assisting doctors in disease detection. From automating routine work to aiding creativity, AI is quietly reshaping how we live and think.
