Artificial intelligence, or AI, involves making computers think and act like humans, with three main types: artificial narrow intelligence, artificial general intelligence, and artificial super intelligence.

John's weekend journey leads him to ponder the evolution of artificial intelligence, from its inception by John McCarthy in 1956 to the current stages of narrow, general, and super intelligence, exemplified by Netflix, Siri, IBM's Watson, and GPT-3.

John's fascination led him to discover the interconnectedness of machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing with artificial intelligence. Machine learning automates computer learning without human intervention, deep learning improves on its own using artificial neural networks, and NLP enables machines to understand and translate human language.

Industries seek AI Engineers for developing intelligent systems with salaries exceeding $120,000. The future of AI appears promising, with the market projected to reach $190 billion by 2025.
