Imagine you're talking to a friend who only knows a few words. You say 'I want pizza,' and they understand it because they know what 'pizza' is, even if they don't know all the details. A computer works like that too, but instead of just a few words, it uses patterns in what you type or speak to guess what you're saying. It's like having a super-smart friend who learns new things every day.
Examples
- Your smart speaker hears 'Turn on the lights' and does just that.
- When you type ‘What’s the weather like today?’ into a phone, it reads your question as if you were asking someone in person.
