Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Machines that learn to mimic reasoning, decision-making, and in general exhibit some
degree of human-like intelligence to solve a problem.

EU Commission, 2019:

"Systems that, given a goal, perceive their environment, interpret the collected data, reason
to derive knowledge, and decide the best action(s) to achieve the goal".
