What is Artificial Intelligence?
AI
Computer systems that have the ability to learn, reason and solve problems by imitating human intelligence.
Overview
Artificial intelligence is a broad field of technology that enables computer systems to mimic abilities unique to human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem solving and language understanding. It can make predictions about the future or perform complex tasks by extracting patterns from data.
How it works
Algorithms are trained on large data sets. In this process, the system mathematically learns the relationships in the data to reach accurate results and applies similar logic when it encounters new data.
Where it is used
It is actively used in all areas of life, from voice assistants on smartphones to software that makes medical diagnoses and tools that produce creative content.
Commonly confused with
It is confused with mere robots, but artificial intelligence can also exist as just software without the need for a physical body.
Frequently asked questions
Can artificial intelligence really think?
No, artificial intelligence does not have true consciousness; it simply mimics human intelligence with complex mathematical calculations.
Will artificial intelligence take our jobs?
Artificial intelligence will change the way many jobs are done, but will generally be positioned as a tool that increases efficiency by working with humans.
