Artificial intelligence, or AI, is technology that can work with patterns in information. That lets it do things that can feel surprisingly human—like answering a question, describing a picture, or helping write a first draft.
In plain English
AI is a tool that has learned from lots of examples.
When you give it a request, it uses patterns from those examples to create a response. It does not think or understand exactly like a person, and it can make mistakes. You stay in charge of what to trust and use.
Try it yourself
What is something you would like AI to help you with?

- Writing an email
- Understanding a document
- Finding a recipe
