Artificial intelligence is the science of making machines that can 'think' like humans. Now thinking should be explained. It simply means taking inputing data, then outputing other data based on the input data. It can do things that are considered "smart." Smart here just means to process large amounts of data, Process that data very quickly, and to give reliable output - output that is the same given the same imput, and now get sick or tired. AI technology can process large amounts of data in ways, unlike humans. The goal for AI is to be able to do things such as recognize patterns, make decisions, and judge like humans.
