Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science focused on creating machines and software that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include problem-solving, learning, decision-making, language understanding, perception, and more.

Types of AI

  1. Narrow AI (Weak AI) – Designed for a specific task (e.g., Siri, ChatGPT, Google Search).
  2. General AI (Strong AI) – Aims to perform any intellectual task a human can do (still theoretical).
  3. Super AI – Hypothetical AI surpassing human intelligence.

Key AI Technologies

  • Machine Learning (ML): Algorithms that allow computers to learn from data.
  • Deep Learning: Advanced ML using neural networks to process complex data.
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP): AI's ability to understand and generate human language.
  • Computer Vision: AI systems that interpret and analyze visual data.
  • Robotics: AI-driven machines performing physical tasks.

Applications of AI

  • Healthcare: AI-assisted diagnostics, robotic surgery, personalized medicine.
  • Finance: Fraud detection, algorithmic trading, risk assessment.
  • Retail: Chatbots, personalized recommendations, inventory management.
  • Autonomous Vehicles: Self-driving cars and drones.
  • Cybersecurity: AI-driven threat detection and prevention.
