Artificial intelligence (AI) technology refers to the development of computer systems or machines that mimic human intelligence processes. These could include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technology is used in a wide range of applications, from virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, to predictive algorithms used by e-commerce websites, to autonomous vehicles, medical diagnosis tools, and more. It can also be categorized into two types: narrow AI, which is designed to perform a single task, such as voice recognition, and general AI, which can theoretically perform any intellectual task that a human being can do.
