Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming Information and Communication Technology (ICT) by enabling machines to simulate human intelligence through learning, reasoning, and decision-making. ICT, which forms the backbone of our digital world, becomes more efficient and adaptive when integrated with AI. Techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, NLP, and computer vision enhance networking, communication, data management, and cybersecurity. AI enables self-optimizing networks, intelligent data handling, predictive analytics, and real-time threat detection, improving automation, accuracy, and efficiency. Its applications span smart cities, telecommunications, e-governance, and cloud computing. While AI brings immense benefits like cost reduction and personalization, it also raises concerns about data privacy, bias, and job displacement. Ultimately, AI and ICT together drive digital transformation, making systems smarter and more responsive, provided they are implemented ethically and responsibly.
