Artificial Intelligence is the broad science of making computers mimic human decision-making and problem-solving. It is a nested family of technologies. At the outer edge, you have general AI. Inside that, you find machine learning, where systems learn from patterns in data. At the very centre, you have deep learning. It tries to mimic the human brain using neural networks.Â
AI is a powerful tool, but it is not a replacement for human thinking, nor is it ever likely to be. It is brilliant at finding patterns in mountains of data, giving simple answers to complex questions (context depending, of course), but it lacks common sense and empathy. Our job is to bridge that gap, ensuring that AI is safe and reliable.Â
