What is Artificial Intelligence?
AI systems are tools that use data, rules and learned patterns to perform tasks that normally require aspects of human intelligence.
101 takeaway: Start by understanding the purpose of the system before memorising technical vocabulary.
Why it matters
AI does not think exactly like a person. Modern systems predict, classify, generate or recommend based on patterns and instructions.
Learning the foundation helps you ask better questions, recognise limitations and make more informed decisions.
A practical way to begin
Choose one small, low-risk task connected to this topic. Observe the result, write down what worked and identify one thing to improve. Practical learning turns a definition into usable understanding.
