AI GLOSSARY

Algorithm

An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure or set of rules designed to perform a specific task or solve a particular problem. In computer science and AI, algorithms process input data and produce outputs, often with the goal of optimisation, decision-making, or prediction. Algorithms are the backbone of software systems, enabling everything from simple calculations to complex machine learning models.
