What is Artificial Intelligence?

AI is technology that lets computers perform tasks that normally require human intelligence — like learning, reasoning, and understanding language.

🧑For teens & curious minds

Artificial Intelligence refers to computer systems designed to mimic human cognitive functions — learning from data, recognizing patterns, solving problems, and making decisions without being explicitly programmed for every task.

💡Visual Analogy

AI is like a student who reads a million textbooks and then uses what it learned to answer any question.

Key Terms
