Artificial intelligence (AI)

인공지능(AI)

Technology that lets computers do things that people do by learning and judging.

Overview

Older programs needed a person to write down every rule. Artificial intelligence looks at a lot of data and finds the rules by itself. It is like learning to recognize a cat by looking at millions of photos.

Most of what people call AI today is generative AI, which creates text, images and sound. But route finding in a maps app, spam filtering and translation tools are all artificial intelligence too.

An everyday example

Your phone picking out only the puppy photos from your gallery, or a translation app converting a sentence, is artificial intelligence at work.

Why it matters

The way people do jobs like writing, coding, searching and customer support is changing fast. To use AI well, you need to know which jobs you can hand over and where it makes mistakes.
