What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
Artificial Intelligence or AI is a broad term used to define the use of computer systems and machines that emulate human intelligence or processes to solve problems.
When we refer to AI as a field, in most cases we mean the practical application of perceived intelligence or the ability to perform certain tasks that might normally be undertaken by intelligent beings. AI subfields such Machine Learning and Deep Learning (including neural networks) are being used commercially across the sector by companies working in areas such as data analysis, image processing, blockchain, automation and natural language processing, and have lead to a thriving UK emerging economy.
