In reality, AI is an algorithm: a set of rules that a computer follows. Artificial intelligence can perform complex tasks, and machine learning, which is a type of artificial intelligence, learns to do tasks better the more the program does them. AI is a type of technology, and you can find it in apps like Spotify (which uses AI to create Discover Weekly playlists) and Amazon.
