Some concepts make perfect sense on paper, whereas others require you to get your hands dirty.
Take driving, for example. You can memorize every component of the engine mechanics, but that does not mean you can actually drive.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using the information), reasoning (using rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions) and self-correction.
