Understand better AI.
Ever found AI discussions as complex as a riddle you can't solve? You're in good company! Artificial Intelligence often feels like a secret language. But don't worry; we're here to make it clear. In this newsletter, we're simplifying AI. Let's explore together!
🤔 What is AI?
Artificial Intelligence, commonly referred to as AI, is a branch of computer science dedicated to creating intelligent machines and software. These intelligent systems are designed to perform tasks that typically necessitate human-like intelligence, including problem-solving, learning from experiences, and decision-making.
🤷♂️ What are the main fields of AI?
Machine Learning: One of the main building blocks of AI is machine learning. This is a way for computers to learn from data and improve their performance over time. Imagine it as the computer getting better at a task the more it practices.
Neural Networks: These are algorithms inspired by the human brain. They help computers recognize patterns and make sense of complex information, like identifying objects in images or understanding language.
Natural Language Processing (NLP): NLP is about teaching computers to understand and respond to human language, making things like chatbots and voice assistants possible.
Computer Vision: This involves enabling computers to "see" and interpret images or videos, which is handy for tasks like facial recognition and self-driving cars.
Automation: AI is also about automating repetitive tasks, which can free up humans to focus on more creative or complex work.
