AI

AI, or artificial intelligence, refers to computer systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, pattern recognition, language processing and decision-making. AI systems use algorithms and data to identify relationships and improve performance over time. Artificial intelligence is applied across sectors including healthcare, climate modeling, industry, education and environmental monitoring.
