"Hello my name is Mark Daly, and I am going to explain what an AI is used for. AI is an acronym for artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence as the name implies is a process that in the computer science industry where computers may take action, make decisions based on environmental or other changes. An example of artificial intelligence on a really basic level would be a digital thermostat in your home that would sense the temperature and take action based on that.
