Artificial intelligence

Full lap (Full definition)

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and learn like humans. AI encompasses a wide range of techniques and approaches aimed at enabling computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognising images, making decisions, and solving problems.

AI systems are designed to mimic cognitive functions such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. These systems can be trained to analyse data, identify patterns, and make predictions or decisions based on the information they are given. AI can be categorised into several types, including:

• Narrow or Weak AI: Designed for a specific task, such as facial recognition or playing chess.
• General or Strong AI: Possesses human-level intelligence and can perform any intellectual task that a human being can.
• Super AI: Surpasses human intelligence and abilities.

AI has found applications in numerous fields, including healthcare, finance, transportation, and entertainment. It is used for tasks such as medical diagnosis, fraud detection, self-driving cars, and virtual assistants. AI technologies continue to evolve, with ongoing advancements in areas such as machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing, leading to increasingly sophisticated and capable AI systems.
