Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the field of computer science that focuses on creating systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include understanding natural language, recognizing images, making decisions, and learning from data. AI technologies—such as machine learning, neural networks, and natural language processing—are transforming industries like healthcare, finance, transportation, and education. While AI offers efficiency and innovation, it also raises important questions about privacy, ethics, and the future of work.
