Definition
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the capability of digital computers or computer-controlled robots to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. It encompasses various subfields including machine learning, natural language processing, and robotics. The goal is to create systems that can reason, learn, perceive, and make decisions autonomously, mimicking cognitive functions such as problem-solving and pattern recognition without explicit programming for every scenario.
Summary
The simulation of human intelligence processes by computer systems.
