Which term describes a branch of AI that translates human language into data for computer systems?

• A. Robotic Process Automation
• B. Computer Vision
• C. Natural Language Processing (NLP)
• D. Data Mining

Answer: (C)

Natural Language Processing focuses on turning human language into data that computer systems can understand and act on. It enables machines to interpret, analyze, and transform language input—whether text or speech—into structured representations that software can use for tasks like understanding requests, extracting meaning, or converting speech to text. That makes NLP the branch of AI dedicated to translating language into data. The other areas don’t fit this specific purpose: Robotic Process Automation automates repetitive tasks in workflows, Computer Vision works with images and visual data, and Data Mining looks for patterns in large datasets rather than translating language.
