Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science focused on building systems that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, language understanding, perception, and decision-making. It combines data, algorithms, models, and computing power to recognise patterns, make predictions, generate content, and support automation.
  • What it is: AI enables machines to carry out tasks linked with human cognitive abilities.
  • How it works: AI systems learn from data training, model development, inference, and feedback loops.
  • Major types: Common categories include narrow AI, artificial general intelligence, and superintelligence, plus functional types such as reactive machines and limited memory systems.
  • Common applications: AI is used in healthcare, finance, transport, retail, education, manufacturing, customer service, cybersecurity, and entertainment.
  • Key risks: Important concerns include bias in AI, privacy, hallucinations, safety, transparency, and job displacement.
