What’s artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and natural language processing. AI can be divided into two main categories: narrow or weak AI, which is designed to perform a specific task, and general or strong AI, which has the ability to perform any intellectual task that a human can. AI technologies are increasingly being used in a variety of applications, including healthcare, transportation, finance, education, and entertainment.
