Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to computer systems and machines that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving and decision-making. In simple terms, AI enables technology to analyse data, recognise patterns and improve its performance over time without constant human input . As explained in a guide on the role of AI in society, AI can be understood as machines that “reason, learn and act” in ways that would normally require human thinking, often at a scale far beyond human capability. Today, AI underpins everything from recommendation systems and automation to advanced tools that are transforming how businesses operate.
