Definition
Artificial Intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines programmed to think and learn like humans. AI systems can perform tasks such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation.
- AI is broadly categorized into:
- Narrow AI (Weak AI): Designed for specific tasks (e.g., Siri, recommendation systems)
- General AI (Strong AI): Hypothetical AI with human-like cognitive abilities
- Superintelligent AI: Theoretical AI surpassing human intelligence
Examples
Examples include virtual assistants (Alexa, Siri), self-driving cars, facial recognition systems, and ChatGPT.
