Artificial intelligence involves machines with human-like intelligence to perform tasks using complex algorithms and mathematical functions. AI encompasses generalized learning, reasoning, and problem-solving capabilities, with two main categories: weak AI focusing on specific tasks and strong AI being self-aware and emotional.

Artificial intelligence enables machines to mimic human-like intelligence, performing tasks such as organizing cupboards and making customized coffee. This chapter explores how AI, through complex algorithms and mathematical functions, powers machines in various aspects of daily life.

AI can be categorized into weak AI, which excels at specific tasks like playing games, and strong AI, which is self-aware and capable of developing emotions.

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning are interconnected concepts where machine learning is a technique to achieve AI, and deep learning is a subset of machine learning. Deep learning, inspired by the human brain, enhances data perception and pattern recognition, leading to predictions of human-level smart robots by 2045.
