Simply put, AI is the creation of software that imitates human behaviors and capabilities. Key workloads include:

• Machine learning: This is often the foundation for an AI system, and is the way we “teach” a computer model to make predictions and draw conclusions from data.
• Anomaly detection: The capability to automatically detect errors or unusual activity in a system.
• Computer vision: The capability of software to interpret the world visually through cameras, video, and images.
• Natural language processing: The capability for a computer to interpret written or spoken language, and respond in kind.
• Knowledge mining: The capability to extract information from large volumes of often unstructured data to create a searchable knowledge store.
