Introduction to AI

What is AI?

At its core, AI is about creating systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include things like recognizing speech, making decisions, translating languages, and identifying patterns.

A Simple Example

Let's look at a very basic example of "intelligence" in code. A simple rule-based system can make decisions based on inputs. Try running the Python code below:

Key Concepts

• Machine Learning (ML): A subset of AI where computers learn from data without being explicitly programmed.
• Deep Learning (DL): A subset of ML based on artificial neural networks.
• Natural Language Processing (NLP): Enabling computers to understand and process human language.

Your First Neural Network

Here is a sneak peek at what a simple neuron looks like in code. We will cover this in depth in later chapters.
