Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems. This includes the capabilities of learning (acquiring information and rules for using it), reasoning (utilizing rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self-correction. AI can be categorized into two main types: Narrow AI, which is designed and trained for specific tasks (such as language translation or facial recognition), and General AI, which has the ability to understand, learn, and apply intelligence broadly similar to that of a human being. AI technologies encompass various methodologies and tools, including machine learning, neural networks, natural language processing, and robotics. The goal of AI research is to create systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, enhancing efficiency and enabling new capabilities across a wide range of applications.
