🤖 Artificial Intelligence – Overview

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer science focused on creating machines or software that can mimic human intelligence.

  • AI involves tasks like learning, reasoning, problem-solving, understanding natural language, and perception.

  • The term “Artificial Intelligence” was coined in 1956 at the Dartmouth Conference.

  • AI is categorized into:

    • Narrow AI: Designed for specific tasks (e.g., voice assistants, image recognition).

    • General AI: Hypothetical AI with human-level intelligence.

  • Major AI techniques include machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, natural language processing.

  • AI is widely used today in industries like healthcare, finance, transportation, gaming, and customer service.
