Artificial intelligence ( AI ) is the intelligence of machines or software , as opposed to the intelligence of other living beings, primarily of humans . It is a field of study in computer science that develops and studies intelligent machines. Such machines may be called AIs. AI technology is widely used throughout industry , government , and science. Some high-profile applications are: advanced web search engines (e.g., Google Search ), recommendation systems (used by YouTube , Amazon , and Netflix ), interacting via human speech (such as Google Assistant , Siri , and Alexa ), self-driving cars (e.g., Waymo ), generative and creative tools ( ChatGPT and AI art ), and superhuman play and analysis in strategy games (such as chess and Go).
