WHAT IS IT?
The heart of AI is something called machine learning, which is like teaching computers to learn in the same way as a child does – by trying things out and learning from experience. Instead of programming distinct tasks, machine learning algorithms are like sponges that soak up data, recognize patterns, and make decisions. Feed them more data and their predictions and decisions get sharper.
WHY IMPORTANT
AI isn’t just about robots or fodder for a sci-fi flick. It’s a ground-breaking technology that’s subtly sneaking into our day-to-day lives. As we keep exploring its potential and figuring out the challenges, AI promises to open up new paths in how we live, work, and play in our world. And understanding the ABCs of AI is our first step towards riding the wave of this thrilling tech evolution.
