Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that seeks to create systems capable of performing tasks that normally require human intelligence. These tasks may include recognizing voices and images, understanding natural language, making decisions, learning from experience, solving problems, and adapting to new situations.

AI is not a single technology, but a broad field that includes subdisciplines such as:

• Machine learning:** where systems learn from data without being explicitly programmed.
• Natural language processing (NLP): which allows machines to understand and generate human language.
• Computer vision: for interpreting images and videos.
• Robotics: which combines AI with sensors and motors to interact with the physical world.

AI can be weak or narrow, when it is designed for specific tasks (such as ChatGPT, Siri, or a spam filter), or strong or general, a more theoretical concept, where the machine would have human-like cognitive abilities.

Although AI is already part of everyday life (in search engines, social networks, virtual assistants, smart cars, etc.), it is still in development and poses significant ethical challenges, such as privacy, algorithmic bias, and the impact on employment.

In other words, it’s not a mobile app, nor is it a search engine. It’s a very broad concept, and there’s much we can share on the topic. We’ll delve deeper into this in upcoming posts.
