“Artificial Intelligence refers to the field of computer science and
engineering dedicated to the creation of systems or machines that can
perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks

language, perception, and interaction. AI systems are designed to
simulate, mimic, or enhance human cognitive functions, often with the
aim of improving efficiency, accuracy, or scalability across various
domains.” ChatGPT, 2025
