Artificial Intelligence (AI) – A Breakdown

Mimicking Human Abilities: AI is designed to replicate human
thought processes, learning from experiences, recognizing patterns,
and adapting its responses, just like humans do.

Cognitive Abilities: AI systems perform tasks requiring reasoning,
problem-solving, perception (e.g., image recognition), language
understanding (e.g., chatbots), and even creativity (e.g., AI-
generated art).

Computers & Machines: AI is embedded in everything from
smartphones and virtual assistants to self-driving cars and medical
diagnostic tools, enhancing efficiency and automation across
industries.
