How Does AI Learn?

AI learns a bit like you do - by looking at lots of examples! But instead of using a brain, it uses maths and data.

Imagine you wanted to teach a computer to recognise cats. You'd show it thousands of cat pictures. Over time, it learns what cats look like!

This is called 'training'. The more examples the AI sees, the better it gets. Just like how you get better at maths the more you practise!

There are different types of AI learning: supervised learning (with a teacher), unsupervised learning (finding patterns alone), and reinforcement learning (learning from trial and error - like a video game!).
