Amber Smith's 'The Big Story' podcast episode breaks down artificial intelligence, defining it as the simulation of human intelligence in machines. The episode highlights key AI branches like machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and computer vision, explaining their functions and real-world uses.
“At its heart, AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and learn like humans.”
“This is where systems learn from data without being explicitly programmed.”
“This is what allows computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language.”
