Artificial intelligence, or as it is called AI for short, has become a central issue in the world of technology and business in the last decade.
Although this term often appears in headlines and in everyday conversations, many still do not fully understand what artificial intelligence is and how it works.
In this article we will try to explain in a simple and clear way, the basis of artificial intelligence and why it is so significant in the modern world.
What is artificial intelligence?
Artificial intelligence is a field in computer science that deals with the development of systems capable of performing tasks that normally require human intelligence. This includes image recognition, natural language understanding, decision making, learning from new information and more.
For example, when we use an application that translates texts in one language into another language or a voice recognition system on our smartphone - we use AI-based technologies.
Types of artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence can be divided into two main types: narrow AI and general AI:
- the first one – Narrow AI is AI designed to perform a specific task, such as face recognition in photos or movie recommendations in a streaming app. Narrow AI is the most common today.
- The second - General AI (General AI) is an AI designed to perform any intellectual task that humans can perform. General AI is still in the research stage and is not widely implemented
So how does AI work?
- Machine learning (Machine Learning) - This is a branch of AI where systems learn and improve from feedback.
Examples of this are systems that identify patterns in information and use them to predict results. - Deep learning (Deep Learning) – This is an advanced type of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks. These networks simulate the operation of the human brain and are capable of processing huge amounts of information.
- natural language processing (NLP) – This is a branch of AI that allows systems to understand and communicate in human language. Examples of this are chatbots and automatic translation systems.
Why is artificial intelligence important?
Artificial intelligence is changing the way we live and work. It allows automation for repetitive tasks, helps improve decision-making by analyzing large-scale data in a very short time and enables the development of innovative technologies that improve the quality of life.
Fields such as medicine, transportation, finance and agriculture are already benefiting from the benefits of AI.
The future of artificial intelligence
The future of AI looks promising and full of possibilities - from progress in improving narrow AI systems to the development of general AI, which can handle more complex and broader tasks. But with these developments also come ethical challenges, such as privacy, responsibility and trust.
In conclusion,
Artificial intelligence is a world-class technology that enables systems to perform intellectual tasks that we consider human. As it continues to evolve, it is expected to change our lives even more.
The key to this world is to understand the possibilities and challenges it brings with it, and to know how to use them optimally.

Loretta Moskovitz, it is important to understand that whoever built the models put in precise instructions for maintaining public safety, it is very important and even mandatory to have human contact, inspection, investigation and corrections. But in terms of introducing safety rules in places like ChatGPT and similar platforms, the safety rules are entered as a basis otherwise we would be in chaos.
Do you remember the safety rules that appeared in science fiction that were fed to robots that would not harm humans? So any artificial intelligence must be fed some immutable rules that they must not do. This is something that can prevent the problems that these programs can cause and harm. And of course a body should be established to check and make sure that this will be the case, as well as a mandate to severely punish anyone who does not comply with damage prevention laws.
