Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of creating intelligent machines, such as computers or robots, that can think, learn from data, and solve problems on their own, much like humans do.
Key characteristics of AI include:
- Learning Ability: Unlike regular machines that follow a set of fixed rules without learning, AI machines can get smarter over time by learning from their experiences and the data they process.
- Data-Driven Decisions: Just as a detective uses clues to solve a case, AI uses data—such as text, photos, or search history—to learn and make correct decisions.
- Human-Made Technology: AI is created by humans and does not possess human intelligence in the sense that it does not think or feel emotions.
- Everyday Presence: AI is already a part of daily life, powering tools like movie suggestions on Netflix, fastest routes on Google Maps, and word predictions on smartphones.
