AI is a branch of Computer Science that focuses on simulating human intelligence in machines
                  and programming them to mimic human actions.


                          Domains of AI

                  Artificial Intelligence (AI) means making machines think and learn like humans. Just like we
                  learn from experience, computers with AI can learn from data, understand questions, solve

                  problems, and even make decisions.
                  In 1981, Barr and Feigenbaum defined AI as, AI is the part of computer science concerned

                  with  designing  intelligent  computer  systems,  that  exhibit  characteristics  we  associate  with
                  intelligence in human behaviour, such as understanding language, learning, reasoning, solving
                  problems, and so on.

                     Picnic Planning like an AI
                     You're an AI assistant helping a family plan a picnic on a sunny Saturday.

                     They send you a photo of their items, a voice command, and you already have some data
                     about their past choices.

                     Your job as an AI assistant is to:
                     1.  Look at the photo and choose what’s needed (e.g. sunglasses, water bottle).

                     2.  Understand the command: Remind me to bring football and snacks at 3 PM.

                     3.   Use past data: They always take juice, sandwiches, and a mat. What else might they
                         want?




                          Categories of Artificial Intelligence Based on Capabilities


                  Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be grouped based on its abilities to think and act like humans.

                  These categories help us understand how advanced an AI system is, from performing simple
                  tasks to possibly surpassing human intelligence in the future.

                     •  Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI): Also called Weak AI, it is designed to do one specific
                      task. For example, Siri, Alexa, Google Translate, face recognition on phones.
                     •  Artificial  General  Intelligence  (AGI):  Also  known  as  Strong AI,  it  would  be  able  to

                      think,  learn,  and  solve  problems  like  a  human  in  any  situation.  For  example,  still  under
                      research—no real examples yet, but it would be like a robot that can teach, play games, and
                      have conversations like a person.
