What is AI / A.I. / Artificial Intelligence I keep hearing about?

Imagine AI, or Artificial Intelligence, as the brainpower we give to computers. It’s like teaching them to think and learn, a bit like how you learn new things.

There are two types:

1. Narrow AI (or Weak AI): This is when we teach computers to be really good at one specific thing, like recognizing pictures or helping you find songs you might like.
2. General AI (or Strong AI): This is like the super-smart computer you see in movies, able to learn and understand lots of different things. We’re working on it, but it’s not here just yet.

AI uses cool tricks like machine learning and deep learning to get better at tasks over time. So, when you talk to your voice assistant or see suggestions for what to watch next, that’s AI at work – making computers clever and helpful! 🤖✨
