Understanding Artificial
Intelligence
An Overview of AI Technology
What is Artificial Intelligence?
• Definition: Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to
the simulation of human intelligence in
machines that are programmed to think and
learn like humans.
• Key Components:
• - Machine Learning: Systems that learn from
data.
• - Neural Networks: Algorithms modeled after
the human brain.
Types of AI
• Narrow AI: Specialized in one task (e.g., virtual
assistants).
• General AI: Possesses general intelligence like
a human.
• Superintelligent AI: Surpasses human
intelligence (theoretical).
