Artificial intelligence is computer software that performs tasks normally requiring human thinking, like understanding language, recognizing images, or making decisions.
AI systems learn patterns from data. Show an AI thousands of cat photos labeled "cat," and it learns what makes a cat look like a cat. Then it can identify cats in new photos it's never seen.
The software doesn't think like humans. It finds statistical patterns in data and uses those patterns to make predictions or generate responses.
AI powers most technology you use daily - search engines, photo tagging, voice assistants, and recommendation systems. It's becoming the foundation for new industries and changing how we work.
