Artificial intelligence
Also known as AI, AI software, machine intelligence, artificially intelligent, machine understanding, simulated intelligence, computational rationality
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the capability of computational systems to perform tasks typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and decision-making. It is a field of research in engineering, mathematics and computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and use learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals.
AI overview
Artificial intelligence refers to computer systems that can perform tasks we normally think of as requiring human intelligence, like learning from experience, solving problems, and making decisions. It matters because researchers are developing AI methods and software that allow machines to understand their surroundings and act intelligently to achieve specific goals.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the capability of computational systems to perform tasks typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and decision-making. It is a field of research in engineering, mathematics and computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and use learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals.
High-profile applications of AI include advanced web search engines, chatbots, virtual assistants, autonomous vehicles, and play and analysis in strategy games (e.g., chess and Go). Since the 2020s, generative AI has become widely available to generate images, audio, and videos from text prompts.
