AI tool or AI system | Computer software and systems that simulate human intelligence.AI tools can learn, problem-solve, make decisions, and understand language.This can be contrasted with non-AI pre-programmed tools, which generally apply the same set of rules each time unless a human intervenes to update the rules.
