Human-AI teams allow us to fill in each others weaknesses leveraging human creativity and insight with the ability to perform rote manual tasks and synthesize lots of information. This kind of collaboration can help us make better...

Jabril generally likes action movies and John Green Bot likes romantic movies, but they need to find something that they can both watch and enjoy together. Today, we're going to build a movie recommender system to find that perfect...

We've spent much of this series explaining how and why we don't have the Artificial General Intelligence that we see in movies. Siri frequently doesn't understand us, we probably shouldn't sleep in our self-driving cars, and those...

We're going to code a program that takes a one word prompt and then completes the sentence that sounds like something John Green would say. We're going to collect transcription files from Vlogbrothers episodes, do some preprocessing,...

Artificial intelligence is everywhere and it's already making a huge impact on our lives. It's autocompleting texts on our cellphones, telling us which videos to watch on YouTube, beating us at video games, recognizing us in photos,...

Jabril tries to make an AI to once and for all settle the question, "Will a cat or a dog make us happier?" But in building this AI, Jabril will accidentally incorporate the very bias he was trying to avoid. So today we'll talk about how...

We're going to talk about recommender systems which form the backbone of so much of the content we see online from video recommendations on YouTube and Netflix to ads we see on Facebook, Twitter, and everywhere else. We'll talk about...

Our game is called TrashBlaster, and it's like Asteroids but with trash in the ocean, and instead of a spaceship John Green Bot is wielding a laser. We'll use machine learning techniques such as an evolutionary neural network alongside a...

John Green Bot wrote his first novel! We're going to program a neural network to recognize handwritten letters to convert the first part of John Green Bot's novel into typed text. Follow along with this Google Drive document: Neural...

Robots aren't like humans who can do a lot of different things. They're designed for very specific tasks like vacuuming our homes, assembling cars in a factory, or exploring the surface of other planets. Today, we're going to take a look...

One of the best test spaces for building new AI systems are games. This is because games provide a great framework for an AI to learn an objective and slowly improve. We're going to walk you through creating a Tic Tac Toe bot that uses...
