MAICON Keynote with Karen Hao: What Is AI?

Karen Hao, MIT Technology Review AI Reporter, tackled the topic: Is This AI? If you missed MAICON 2019, watch Hao's full keynote session here. She discusses, what is artificial intelligence? The question may seem basic, but the answer can be complicated. In the broadest sense, AI refers to machines that can learn, reason, and act for themselves. They can make their own decisions when faced with new situations, in the same way that humans and animals can. But, what would have been considered AI in the past may not be considered AI today. Because of this, the boundaries of AI can get really confusing, and the term often gets mangled to include any kind of algorithm or computer program. In this presentation, learn how to differentiate whether something is using AI or not by following a series of simple questions. We hope to see you at MAICON 2020!
