ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Artificial Intelligence (AI), a branch of computer science, is concerned with developing computers capable of doing tasks that would typically need human intelligence. Such tasks include learning from and adjusting to new facts or situations, reading human language, discovering patterns, problem-solving, and decision-making. AI is largely classified into two types: Narrow AI refers to systems designed to do a single job, such as facial recognition or web searches, within a set of limits. This category includes AI technology that we encounter in our daily lives, such as voice-activated assistants, recommendation engines, and picture recognition software. General AI: These systems can accomplish every cognitive activity that a person can. They are capable of comprehending, learning, adapting, and applying knowledge in a variety of contexts.
