Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that focuses on creating systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI can be categorised into two types: narrow or weak AI, which is designed to perform specific tasks, and general AI, which has the ability to perform any intellectual task that a human being can. While general AI remains largely theoretical, narrow AI is part of our everyday lives, powering search engines, digital assistants, and even autonomous vehicles. As AI continues to evolve, it will increasingly benefit.young Liberians, their work, their families, and their surroundings.
