Introduction to AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the field of computer science that focuses on
creating intelligent machines capable of performing tasks that typically
require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and
decision-making.

What is Artificial Intelligence?
Machine Learning
The ability of systems to learn and improve from experience without
being explicitly programmed.
Natural Language Processing
The ability of machines to understand, interpret, and generate
human language.
Computer Vision
The ability of machines to identify and process images and videos in
the same way that humans do.
Robotics
The ability of machines to perform physical tasks, often in a more
efficient and precise way than humans.
History and Evolution of AI
1 1950s
The birth of AI, with the development of the first AI
programs and the Turing test.
2 1960s-1970s
