  Artificial intelligence Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think, learn, and problem-solve like humans. The goal of AI is to enable machines to perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as reasoning, perception, language understanding, decision-making, and even creativity. AI can be divided into two broad categories based on its capabilities:  1. Narrow AI (Weak AI) -Narrow AI is designed to perform a specific task or a narrow range of tasks. It is highly specialized and can excel in a given domain but lacks general intelligence. For example, AI systems used in voice assistants (like Siri or Alexa), recommendation systems (such as those on Netflix or Amazon), and facial recognition are all examples of Narrow AI.     2. General AI (Strong AI) General AI  refers to a machine that possesses the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a broad...
