Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the technology that enables machines and software to think, learn, and make decisions like humans. Instead of simply following commands, AI systems analyze information, understand patterns, and improve themselves over time. From voice assistants like Alexa & Google Assistant to smart recommendations on YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon — AI is already part of our everyday life.
How Does Artificial Intelligence Work?
AI works by using data, algorithms, and computing power to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. It can:
- Understand and respond to language
- Recognize images, faces, and speech
- Predict outcomes and suggest solutions
- Learn from experiences and improve performance
- Automate repetitive tasks
Technologies like Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) play a major role in making AI intelligent.
Types of Artificial Intelligence
Narrow AI (Weak AI)
Designed to perform specific tasks with high accuracy.
Examples: Google Maps, Face Unlock, Voice Assistants, YouTube recommendations
General AI
A future type of AI capable of thinking and learning like humans across all fields.
Still in research and development.
Super AI
Theoretical AI more intelligent than humans — capable of emotions, creativity, and independent thinking.
Currently only a concept.
