A field of computer science focused on creating systems and technologies that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These tasks include learning from experience, understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, solving problems, and making decisions. AI encompasses various subfields such as machine learning, where systems improve through data exposure, and deep learning, which involves neural networks with many layers. AI applications range from virtual assistants and autonomous vehicles to predictive analytics and email outreach tools. The goal of AI is to develop machines and software that can autonomously operate, adapt, and improve, thereby enhancing productivity and enabling new capabilities across diverse industries.
