Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the development of computer systems and algorithms that can perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence, such as recognizing speech, making decisions, and solving problems. The goal of AI is to create systems that can learn from data, identify patterns, and make predictions or decisions based on that learning. AI can be divided into two main categories: narrow AI, which focuses on developing systems that can perform specific tasks, and general AI, which aims to create systems that can perform any intellectual task that a human being can. AI is an interdisciplinary field that draws on computer science, mathematics, psychology, and engineering, among other fields, to create intelligent machines and systems.
