A.I.
Thinking computer systems
A.I. is artificial intelligence—computer systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human cognition, such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.
The term covers everything from simple chatbots to sophisticated language models: A.I. is transforming how we search for information.
Often written AI without periods.
