Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science that focuses on creating intelligent machines that can simulate human cognition and behavior. AI systems can perform tasks such as language translation, image recognition, and autonomous vehicle navigation, and they can be classified into two categories: narrow AI and general AI. Narrow AI systems are designed to perform specific tasks, while general AI systems are designed to be able to perform a wide range of tasks. ...
