Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence by machines using advanced analytics and logic-based techniques, including machine learning, to interpret data, automate decisions, and take actions. AI applications – including Natural Language Processing (NLP), speech recognition, and machine vision – focus on enabling cognitive skills like learning, reasoning, and self-correction. Because of its ability to process massive data sets, AI can perform tasks faster and more accurately than humans, especially repetitive, detail-oriented ones.
