What is AI?

Even AI researchers have no exact definition of AI. The field is rather being constantly redefined when some topics are classified as non-AI, and new topics emerge.

In general, Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are designed to think, learn, and solve problems autonomously. AI systems can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, making decisions, and adapting to new information.

Let’s introduce some of the concepts of AI with this short video.
