Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science focused on creating systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI is broadly classified into two main types: narrow AI, which is designed to perform a narrow task (such as facial recognition or internet searches), and general AI, which would outperform humans at nearly every cognitive task. The development of AI involves various subfields like machine learning (ML), where algorithms improve through experience, and deep learning, which involves neural networks with many layers. AI applications are extensive, ranging from simple tasks like filtering spam emails to complex ones like autonomous driving or managing real-time stock portfolios. Ethical and societal implications are actively discussed topics within the field, focusing on issues such as privacy, employment impact, and the potential need for regulations to ensure AI’s safe and beneficial implementation.
