In AI, a vector is a list of numbers that represents data in a format machines can understand — like the meaning of a word, sentence, image, or sound.

Example:

  • The word “cat” might be converted to a vector like [0.45, -0.2, 0.87, ...].

Vectors are the core of machine learning and AI. They enable semantic search, recommendations, classification, and chatbots by transforming human-readable data into machine-readable form.
