Hi.
I'm David Shaw.
And welcome to AI News.
This week, we cap
off the July episodes
by zooming out to
take a broader look
at artificial intelligence.

AI is quite the buzzword
throughout the tech community.
But what does it really mean?
And what's it capable of?
Well, let's find out.
How do you define
artificial intelligence?
Well, that's almost like asking,
how do you define a human?
A quick search defines
it as "the development
of computer systems able to
perform tasks that normally
require human intelligence."
Intel Fellow Pradeep
Dubey says, "AI
is a simple vision
where computers
become indistinguishable
between humans."
It sounds a little scary.
But in simple terms,
it can be described
as making sense of data.
This reflects how many
companies are using AI today.
Imagine-- you just had a
baby, and you give it a name--
Audrey Ike, or AI for short.
In order to help your child
learn about the world,
you need to give them
information and tools.
Maybe you take the baby
on a walk through the park
in order to learn about
the trees and animals.
Maybe you sign them
up for swim lessons
so that they can be
comfortable in the water.
Artificial intelligence is
much like having a baby.
You need to feed it data
and information in order
for it to learn about
the world on its own
and even how to come
up with solutions.
However, different from
the complexities of a baby,
there are two main
components within AI--
machine learning
and deep learning.
Machine learning is a program
whose performance improves
as it receives more data.
From this, it can make
predictions or decisions.
Deep learning is different
because the machine
can find the best ways to
perform a task on its own.
Oftentimes, it can see
things in a problem
that not even an
expert would see.
Given enough
quality data, it can
be used to solve problems
with remarkable precision.
