Defining AI
Defining AI Artificial Intelligence is the field of computer science focused on building systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence — things like understanding language, recognizing images, making decisions, and solving problems. The term was first coined in 1956 by John McCarthy at the Dartmouth Conference, where a group of researchers set out to explore whether machines could simulate human-level intelligence.
Why AI Matters Now
Why AI Matters Now Three key ingredients drove the modern AI boom: massive amounts of data, powerful computing hardware (especially GPUs), and significantly better algorithms. Together, these made it possible to train AI systems that are genuinely transformative. The AI industry is projected to contribute over $15 trillion to the global economy by 2030. Understanding AI is no longer just for engineers — it's an essential literacy for everyone.
