AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a branch of computer science that focuses on creating machines or software that can perform tasks that usually require human intelligence.
In simple words:
AI means teaching computers to think, learn, and make decisions like humans.
What AI can do:
- Understand language (like ChatGPT answering your questions)
- Recognize images (face recognition in phones)
- Make decisions (Google Maps choosing the best route)
- Learn from data (YouTube or Netflix suggestions)
- Play games (like chess or Ludo against AI)
Types of AI:
- Narrow AI – does one specific task
- Example: Siri, Google Assistant
- General AI – can think like a human (still not invented)
- Super AI – smarter than humans (only theoretical)
Real-life examples:
- Chatbots
- Self-driving cars
- Spam detection in Gmail
- Online shopping recommendations
