Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the field of computer science focused on building machines and software capable of mimicking human cognitive processes. These include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI encompasses a wide range of technologies, from rule-based systems and machine learning to advanced deep learning and generative models. It is applied in everyday tools such as voice assistants, recommendation systems, fraud detection, autonomous vehicles, and medical diagnostics. The goal of AI is to enable systems to make decisions, adapt to new information, and operate with varying degrees of autonomy.
