Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent agents, which are systems that can reason, learn, and act autonomously.
In simpler terms, AI is the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, and making decisions.
