This article provides an overview of Artificial Intelligence (AI), exploring its various aspects and categories. It defines AI as the point at which machines exhibit human-like intelligence in their actions, and categorizes it into two main types: narrow AI (or weak AI) and general AI (or strong AI). Narrow AI is designed for specific tasks, while general AI is a more futuristic concept. AI has infiltrated our daily lives in various forms, and three common examples are Expert Systems, Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. This article serves as a foundational piece to set the stage for more in-depth discussions in the subsequent installments.
