Heard a lot about Artificial Intelligence (AI) but not sure what it really means? You’re not alone! Let’s break down the basics in plain English, without any confusing tech talk.
Think of this page as your friendly starting point to understanding the core ideas behind AI. If you want a structured path, our bite-sized AI Beginner Course gets you confident in under an hour.
When people talk about AI, they’re often talking about systems that are very good at spotting patterns. For example, an AI might look at thousands of photos of cats and dogs and eventually get good at telling which is which. It doesn’t “understand” animals the way humans do, but it can recognize patterns in the pixels that match what it has seen before.
Most modern AI needs three main ingredients: data (examples to learn from), processing power (computers doing lots of math behind the scenes), and good instructions from humans about what we want it to do. You don’t need to learn the math—just knowing that AI learns from examples helps you understand why it sometimes gets things right and sometimes makes very odd mistakes.
