What AI is, in simple terms
Understand what AI can do, what it cannot do and why its answers need checking.
Modern AI can work with text, images, audio and other data. It can explain, structure, suggest options and help with routine tasks.
AI does not automatically know the truth. It can confidently make mistakes or invent facts, so important figures, dates and claims need verification.
The best approach is to give AI a clear task and treat its output as a strong draft that you review and improve.
