Artificial Intelligence
The simulation of human intelligence processes by computer systems.
Also: AI
Definition
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the broad field of computer science dedicated to creating systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, problem-solving, perception, and natural language understanding. Modern AI is largely driven by machine learning and deep learning techniques. AI applications span robotics, autonomous vehicles, medical diagnosis, natural language processing, and game playing.
Example
“DeepMind's AlphaFold AI system solved the protein folding problem—predicting a protein's 3D structure from its amino acid sequence with remarkable accuracy—a 50-year-old grand challenge in biology that has accelerated drug discovery significantly.”
