Neural networks are computing systems loosely based on how brain neurons work. They process information through interconnected nodes that pass signals to each other.
Picture a network of simple decision-makers. Each "neuron" receives inputs, processes them, and passes the result forward. When thousands of these work together in layers, they can recognize complex patterns.
The first layer might detect edges in an image. The next layer combines edges into shapes. The final layer recognizes objects. Each layer builds on the previous one.
Neural networks are the foundation of modern AI. They power everything from image recognition to language translation. Understanding neural networks helps you grasp how most current AI systems actually work.
