Artificial intelligence is the field of creating computer systems that perform tasks associated with human learning, reasoning, perception and language. It includes machine learning, generative models, robotics, computer vision and decision systems. AI is used across science, industry and public services, raising questions about reliability, safety, privacy, fairness and accountability.
