What is AI?

A plain-language look at what artificial intelligence really is — no math, no jargon. Press play, take your time, and rewind whenever you like.

The short version

AI is a computer that learns from lots of examples so it can answer questions, recognise things, and help with tasks — a bit like a very well-read helper.

The basics we'll cover

  • 1What "artificial intelligence" means, in everyday words.
  • 2How a computer can "learn" from examples instead of being told every rule.
  • 3Where you already meet AI without noticing it.
  • 4What AI is good at — and where it still gets things wrong.

A gentle reminder: these tools are helpers, not experts. They can be wrong or make things up, so double-check anything important, and never share passwords, bank details, or private information with them.
