🧱 Basics
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Umbrella term for systems that solve tasks that used to require human intelligence: understanding language, recognising images, making predictions, creating content.
💭 Imagine …
Like the word “vehicle”: it covers everything from a bicycle to an Airbus. What's meant depends on the system.
🔎 Example
Spam filters, translators and Copilot are all “AI”, yet technically completely different.
🎯 Why it matters
When you say “AI”, say which kind. Otherwise people talk past each other.
