Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, understanding natural language, and recognizing patterns. AI systems use algorithms and vast amounts of data to make decisions and improve over time, mimicking cognitive functions such as perception, decision-making, and language translation. Applications of AI span various industries, from healthcare and finance to robotics and autonomous vehicles, transforming how we interact with technology and enhancing efficiency in numerous fields
