Artificial Intelligence
The broad field of building systems that perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is the discipline of building systems that perform tasks requiring human-like reasoning, perception, or decision-making — from image recognition to language understanding to content generation. AWS exposes AI through purpose-built services such as Amazon Rekognition for vision, Amazon Comprehend for text analysis, and Amazon Bedrock for foundation model access, letting practitioners use AI without managing research infrastructure. A common exam trap conflates AI with machine learning: rule-based expert systems are AI but not ML, because they use hand-coded logic rather than learned patterns. A system using predefined rules with no training data is AI, not ML.
