Artificial intelligence (AI) is a set of technologies that enable computers to perform a variety of advanced functions, including the ability to see, understand and translate spoken and written language, analyze data, make recommendations, and more.
Artificial intelligence (AI), in its broadest sense, is intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems. It is a field of research in computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and use learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals. Such machines may be called AIs.
High-profile applications of AI include advanced web search engines (e.g., Google Search); recommendation systems (used by YouTube, Amazon, and Netflix); virtual assistants (e.g., Google Assistant, Siri, and Alexa); autonomous vehicles (e.g., Waymo); generative and creative tools (e.g., ChatGPT and AI art); and superhuman play and analysis in strategy games (e.g., chess and Go). However, many AI applications are not perceived as AI: "A lot of cutting edge AI has filtered into general applications, often without being called AI because once something becomes useful enough and common enough it's not labeled AI anymore.
- The most basic type of AI
- Reacts to existing conditions
- Can respond to immediate requests and tasks
- Can't store memory, learn from past experiences, or improve functionality
- Useful for basic autonomous functions, such as filtering spam or recommending items
- A type of AI that exists under the narrow AI umbrella
- A type of AI that has yet to be achieved and exists only as a concept or theory
- A type of AI that has yet to be achieved and exists only as a concept or theory
- A more advanced form of AI that can learn, think, and carry out a vast array of tasks
- The objective is to create machines that can execute multifaceted duties and serve as lifelike assistants to people
