Word/Phrase: artificial intelligence

Associations

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of machines or computer systems to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. This includes things like learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.

• AI is used in virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa, which can understand voice commands and answer questions.
• Many online services use AI to suggest products based on your previous purchases or browsing history, such as Amazon or Netflix.
• In healthcare, AI can help analyze medical data to assist doctors in diagnosing patients more accurately.

The synonym "machine learning" is related to artificial intelligence, but the difference is that machine learning is a specific subset of AI focused on the idea that systems can learn from data and improve over time without being explicitly programmed.

Substitution

Some alternatives to "artificial intelligence" could be:

• "machine learning" - which refers specifically to the learning ability of machines from data.
• "automated systems" - which focuses more on systems that operate automatically, not necessarily learning from experience.
• "intelligent automation" - which emphasizes combining AI with automation, making processes more efficient. These substitutions can change the emphasis of what you're describing, so use them based on the specific aspect of AI you want to highlight.
