AI Terminology

What is Artificial Intelligence?
Definition
The simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning, reasoning, and self-correction.
Explain Like I'm New
Giving computers the ability to think, learn, and make decisions somewhat like a human would, rather than just blindly following fixed programming rules.
Real World Example
Instead of programming a computer with 10,000 exact rules on how to identify a dog in a picture, AI allows the computer to look at 10,000 pictures of dogs and 'learn' what a dog looks like on its own.
