Basics

AI (Artificial Intelligence)

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. It refers to computer software that can perform tasks that normally require human thinking — like understanding language, answering questions, writing text, or recognising images. When business owners talk about AI today, they usually mean tools like ChatGPT, which can hold a conversation and help with tasks like writing emails or drafting social media posts.

Real-world example

A café owner uses ChatGPT to write their weekly specials post for Facebook in under two minutes, instead of spending 20 minutes on it themselves.
