Artificial Intelligence or AI refers to computer systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include learning from data, recognizing patterns, making decisions, and solving problems. AI algorithms analyse large amounts of information to detect trends and make predictions, often mimicking human cognitive functions such as learning and problem-solving.

As AI technologies are becoming increasingly integrated into our daily lives, influencing everything from healthcare to finance, transportation to entertainment, a greater understanding of AI empowers individuals to make informed decisions about how they engage with and benefit from these technologies.
