Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the development of computer systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, decision-making, and language understanding. AI achieves this by using algorithms and models to analyze vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and learn from experience to make intelligent decisions and predictions. Common examples include virtual assistants, recommendation systems, and AI-powered chatbots, which use AI to provide personalized experiences and automate complex processes.
