What is AI, or Artificial Intelligence?
AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is the field of computer science focused on creating systems or machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include:
-
Learning from data (e.g., machine learning)
-
Reasoning and problem-solving
-
Understanding language (natural language processing)
-
Perception (e.g., recognizing images or sounds)
-
Decision-making and adapting to new situations
There are different levels of AI:
-
Narrow AI (Weak AI) – Designed for a specific task (like voice assistants, spam filters, or recommendation systems).
-
General AI (Strong AI) – A theoretical AI that can understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks like a human.
-
Superintelligent AI – A hypothetical future AI that surpasses human intelligence in all aspects.
Right now, all real-world AI is in the narrow AI category, including tools like ChatGPT, which are trained to handle specific types of tasks using vast amounts of data.
