A quick guide to the history and basics of AI

🤖 What Is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

Artificial Intelligence is the field of computer science focused on creating systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, understanding natural language, and perception.

🧠 Key Concepts Explained

1. Neural Networks

A neural network is a structure of algorithms designed to recognize patterns. It mimics the way the human brain operates and is the foundation of deep learning.

2. Machine Learning Algorithms

ML algorithms allow machines to learn from data. Types include:

• Supervised Learning: Learning with labeled data (e.g., spam detection).

• Unsupervised Learning: Discovering patterns in unlabeled data (e.g., customer segmentation).

• Reinforcement Learning: Learning through trial and error with rewards (e.g., game playing).

3. Transformers

Transformers are advanced neural networks that understand sequences, especially in language. They use self-attention mechanisms to process data all at once rather than step-by-step.
