Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. The term artificial intelligence was coined in 1956, but AI has become more popular today thanks to increased data volumes, advanced algorithms, and improvements in computing power and storage.In general, AI systems work by ingesting large amounts of labeled training data, analyzing the data for correlations and patterns, and using these patterns to make predictions about future states. In this way, a chatbot that is fed examples of text can learn to generate lifelike exchanges with people, or an image recognition tool can learn to identify and describe objects in images by reviewing millions of examples. New, rapidly improving generative AI techniques can create realistic text, images, music and other media. One of the most obvious benefits is the ability of AI to quickly analyze large amounts of data, such as financial reports or news articles about public companies. In practice, this is highly useful in investment management.
