Artificial Intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, as opposed to intelligence displayed by humans or animals. It is a set of technologies that enable computers to perform a variety of advanced functions, including the ability to see, understand and translate spoken and written language, analyze data, make recommendations, and more.
AI can be classified into three types: **Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI)**, **Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)** and **Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI)**. ANI is designed to perform a single task or a set of tasks. AGI is designed to perform any intellectual task that a human can do. ASI is an AI system that has surpassed human intelligence in every field.
Here's an example of how AI works: When you ask Siri or Alexa to play your favorite song, the AI system uses natural language processing (NLP) algorithms to understand your request. It then searches through its database for the song you requested and plays it for you.
