Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The broadest category of computer systems designed to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence, such as recognizing images, understanding language, or making recommendations. The term alone says nothing about how a specific system works or how capable it actually is; it is a category name, not a technical description.
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 2 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in The AI Lobbyist: Certified AI Policy Strategist.
