We often think of AI in terms of futuristic robots with glowing eyes or walking, talking machines that look and act like humans. That’s the image many movies and books give us, and while that vision is fascinating, it’s only a tiny slice of what AI actually is.

It’s about creating software and machines that can recognize patterns, make decisions, and even improve themselves over time through experience.
