Artificial Intelligence, or AI, refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are designed to think and learn like humans. AI can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as recognizing speech, making decisions, and translating languages. Understanding AI is the first step in realizing its potential in diverse fields, including education.

Types of Artificial Intelligence

AI can be categorized into three types: Narrow AI, which is designed to perform a narrow task (e.g., voice recognition); General AI, which has the potential to perform any intellectual task that a human being can; and Super AI, which surpasses human intelligence and can perform any task better than a human. Narrow AI is the most commonly used type in today's applications.

Automating Administrative Tasks
