Umělá inteligence, or artificial intelligence (AI), refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems. It encompasses a range of technologies that enable machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, making decisions, and learning from experience.
AI can be categorized into two main types: narrow AI, which is designed to perform a specific task (like facial recognition or language translation), and general AI, which has the capability to understand, learn, and apply intelligence across a wide range of tasks, similar to a human being. Key components of AI include machine learning, where algorithms improve their performance based on data; deep learning, which involves neural networks with many layers; and natural language processing, which enables machines to understand and generate human language.
Overall, umělá inteligence is an interdisciplinary field that integrates computer science, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and various engineering disciplines to create intelligent systems capable of performing complex tasks autonomously.
