How AI Works (Simplified & Explained Clearly)

1. Data – The Fuel of AI

AI needs a large amount of information (called data) to learn from.

Types of data:

Text (like emails or messages)

Images (photos, facial expressions)

Audio (voices, music)

Video (surveillance, movies)

2. Algorithms – The Brain’s Recipe

Algorithms are step-by-step instructions that tell the AI how to understand and process the data.

Think of them like recipes: They guide AI on what to look for and how to decide.

Different tasks use different algorithms (e.g., one for voice, another for images).

3. Training – Learning Like a Human

AI is trained by showing it examples, just like teaching a child. Supervised learning: You tell the AI, “This is a dog,” “This is a cat.” Over time, it learns patterns and gets better at making decisions.
