Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad field of study that seeks to use computer algorithms and software to enable machines to mimic human behavior and react to their environment in a manner that could be classified as “intelligent.” It has become a rapidly growing field, as experts have experimented with using and creating artificial neural networks, adaptive learning, natural language processing and machine learning to create computer systems that can reason and make decisions. AI has widespread applications across various industries, has created a wide range of new job opportunities and is expected to have a sizable impact on the development of future technology.
