Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science focused on creating systems and programs capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and decision-making.
There are different types of AI:
- Weak or Narrow AI: It is designed to perform a specific task, such as a virtual assistant, a recommendation system, or a voice recognition program. It has no awareness or understanding beyond the task it has been programmed for.
- General AI: Refers to systems that have the ability to perform any human cognitive task. It has not yet been achieved, and it is an active area of research.
- Superintelligent AI: This is intelligence that surpasses human intelligence in all aspects, such as creativity, problem-solving, and decision-making. This is still theoretical and has not been achieved.
AI uses techniques such as machine learning, which allows systems to learn from data, and deep learning, which uses artificial neural networks to model complex patterns in large volumes of data.
