Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science focused on creating systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving. Rooted in the 1956 Dartmouth workshop, AI has evolved from early theoretical concepts to a pervasive technology used in everyday life. Its applications are vast, ranging from natural language processing in chatbots and virtual assistants to computer vision in self-driving cars and medical diagnoses. However, the rapid advancement of AI also raises significant ethical concerns, including data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the potential for job displacement. As AI becomes more integrated into society, addressing these ethical challenges is crucial for its responsible development and deployment.
