2. Chapter 1: Defining the Foundation
What is Artificial Intelligence
(AI)?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence by machines, especially computer systems, enabling them to perceive, reason, learn, and act.
Machine Learning
Systems learn from data, identifying patterns and making
decisions with minimal human intervention.
Deep Learning
A subset of ML using neural networks with multiple layers to
analyse complex data like images and speech.
Natural Language Processing
Enables machines to read, understand, and generate human
language (text or speech).
Robotics
Development of intelligent machines capable of carrying out
complex tasks in the physical world.
The ultimate goal is to make machines “think” and “act” like humans, replicating cognitive functions.
