What is AI?
Artificial Intelligence is everywhere — in your phone, your games, and your favorite apps. But how does it actually work? Let's find out!
Key Concepts
Artificial Intelligence
Computer systems that can learn from experience and perform tasks that
normally require human intelligence.
Machine Learning
A way for computers to learn patterns from lots of data — instead of being
told every single rule.
Training Data
The examples an AI learns from. The more quality data it sees, the smarter
it usually becomes.
Pattern Recognition
AI is really good at spotting patterns — like recognizing a cat in a photo
or predicting your next word.

Did you know?
The autocomplete feature when you type a text message uses AI! It's learned from millions of sentences to guess what you'll type next. You're already using AI dozens of times a day without even realising it.
