Crash Course Computer Science #34: Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

This episode discusses how computers make decisions on stored data? From spam filters and self-driving cars to cutting-edge medical diagnosis and real-time language translation, there has been an increasing need for our computers to learn from data and apply that knowledge to make predictions and decisions. This is the heart of machine learning which sits inside the more ambitious goal of artificial intelligence. We may be a long way from self-aware computers that think just like us, but with advancements in deep learning and artificial neural networks, our computers are becoming more powerful than ever.
