AI, or artificial intelligence, is the field of building computer systems that perform tasks associated with human learning, reasoning and perception. It includes machine learning, language processing, computer vision, robotics and systems that make predictions or recommendations. AI influences science, business and public services, while raising enduring questions about reliability, privacy, fairness, safety and human accountability.
