How AI Works: From Sorcery to Science Machine Learning: AI systems learn from data, identifying patterns and making predictions without explicit programming. Deep Learning: A subset of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks to process complex data, such as images and language. Natural Language Processing (NLP): AI systems that understand and generate human language, enabling communication and text analysis. Computer Vision: AI systems that "see" and interpret images, recognizing objects, faces, and scenes. Robotics: AI-powered machines that perform tasks autonomously, from manufacturing to healthcare. Expert Systems: AI systems that emulate human expertise in specific domains, providing advice and decision support. * Predictive Analytics: AI systems that forecast future events based on historical data, aiding in decision-making and risk management.
