ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

What the heck
is AI, anyway?

AI is a branch of computer science that allows computers to make predictions and decisions to solve problems.

How
AI works

Artificial Intelligence can help to make the humanly impossible possible, but what are the main principles that make this a reality?

Big Data

AI can amass huge amounts of data and analyse it very quickly

Machine Learning

Like people, AI (the machine) can learn through its own experience - so the more you use it, the better it gets.

Algorithms

Algorithms are the backbone of AI because they are a set of instructions for the machine to follow.

There are many ways these are combined to create ‘intelligence’. One example is using bayesian networks, which collect data to make predictions (i.e. about what you might like to buy in an online shop, considering your past purchases and the season). The more it makes these predictions, the more accurate the predictions get, as it gathers more data and teaches itself to be more accurate.

Uses

Cases that matter

From how we find our way around a foreign city to how we book a taxi, we already live in a world made simpler by artificially intelligent processes.

Google’s PageRank algorithm, which determines where a page should appear in a Google search, is based on how many other pages link to the page in question – with every web page on the Internet potentially contributing to the ranking of every other page.
