« Back to Glossary Index
The term "AI" stands for Artificial Intelligence. It refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning (acquiring information and rules for using it), reasoning (using rules to reach conclusions), and self-correction.
In practical terms, AI enables machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as:
- Understanding natural language (e.g., voice assistants like Siri or Alexa)
- Recognizing images and patterns (e.g., facial recognition)
- Making decisions (e.g., recommendation systems)
- Learning from data (e.g., machine learning algorithms)
AI is widely used across various industries, including healthcare, finance, automotive, and design, and continues to evolve rapidly with advancements in computing power and data availability.
