AI is not just chatbots or neural networks. It is a long-running attempt to answer one question: Can a machine behave intelligently? That question shaped everything from symbolic AI to modern deep learning. Core Idea Artificial Intelligence is the field of building systems that can perform tasks requiring intelligence.
