Morphology

AI = artificial + intelligence (semi-transparent) = A + I

The initialism directly represents 'artificial intelligence'; learners who know the component words can infer the meaning. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]

Etymology

AI is short for artificial intelligence, where artificial means 'made by people' and intelligence means 'thinking' or 'understanding'. So AI refers to computer systems that can 'think', learn, or solve problems like a human.
