Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems. This encompasses a variety of functions including learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using it), reasoning (the use of rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self-correction. AI technologies can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as speech recognition, decision-making, problem-solving, and language translation. AI can be categorized into narrow AI, which is designed to perform specific tasks (like virtual assistants or recommendation systems), and general AI, which aims to understand and reason across a broader range of tasks similarly to a human. The field of AI encompasses various subfields, including machine learning, natural language processing, robotics, and computer vision. Through algorithms and vast amounts of data, AI systems improve their performance over time, exhibiting adaptive behaviors that can enhance efficiency and productivity in many sectors.
