Welcome to What Is AI?

AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is a branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent machines. It is machines, specially computers, trying to simulate human intelligence.

 AI can: 

• Learn from experience: AI can learn from experience and adjust to new inputs. 
• Understand language: AI can understand and translate spoken and written language. 
• Recognize patterns: AI can recognize patterns in data. 
• Solve problems: AI can solve problems by searching through many possible solutions. 
• Make decisions: AI can make decisions and recommendations. 
• Adapt behavior: AI can adapt its behavior by analyzing the effects of previous actions. 

AI has a wide range of applications, from self-driving cars to voice assistants like Siri and Alexa. AI is also used in many aspects of daily life, including: 

• Content creation
• Media
• Smartphones
• Digital assistants
• Chatbots
• Social media websites
• Robot vacuum cleaners

Artificial intelligence (AI) is not considered to be generally intelligent like humans, but it can perform specific tasks very well: 

• Narrow intelligence: AI is currently considered "narrow" intelligence, meaning it can only perform a limited set of actions based on its programming. For example, an AI that can identify cats in images can't perform natural language processing. 
• Human-like tasks: AI can outperform humans in some tasks, such as strategy games, language performance, and writing essays. However, AI can also make mistakes, or "hallucinate", just like humans. 
• Lack of independent thought: AI is programmed by humans, so it can't think or reason independently. For example, an AI that can identify cats in images doesn't understand what a cat is. 
• Potential for human-level intelligence: Some experts believe that AI could eventually achieve "human-level intelligence" (AGI), or proficiency in the many domains of human intelligence. 

AI can be useful for automating dangerous tasks, such as handling explosives or working in deep ocean water. Self-driving cars and other vehicles also have the potential to reduce the risk of injury to passengers.
