Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Technology that enables machines to perform tasks requiring human-like intelligence.
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines — including learning, reasoning, problem solving, and language understanding. The commercial AI boom of the 2020s has made AI a primary driver of company valuations and billionaire wealth creation, particularly through semiconductor, cloud, and software companies.
