All Things A.I.

Good afternoon, everyone! I think it's safe to say we hear something about A.I. everyday, or pretty close to it. Although, artificial intelligence has become all the rage, there's a lot to it. I found a great article posted on inc.com that offers some really helpful info. Let's take a look...

A.I.
"A field of science dedicated to creating machines and computer programs capable of recreating the cognitive functions of the human brain, such as making decisions through logical reasoning, recognizing and categorizing objects, and learning new things." This term can be used as an umbrella to describe a wide range of technology.

Computer algorithm
Computer algorithm is defined as, "A set of instructions that a computer follows to perform tasks and process data." Algorithms are commonly used in social media to to analyze the type of content you interact with most often, and then use that information to score every post, video, and ad on the platform by how statistically likely you are to click on it.

Machine learning
"A branch of A.I. in which an algorithm is altered or enhanced by processing a dataset and identifying the underlying patterns and relationships hidden within the data. For example: A machine learning algorithm trained on thousands of images of your company's product would be able to identify how often it appears in social media posts. "

Model
"A computer program that's been trained by a machine learning algorithm to perform a specific task. After being trained, the program is left with a "model" for how to process new input data, like a text prompt or a voice recording, into predictions and insights based on the patterns it has learned from the training data."

These points are just scratching the surface! This article was very informative for me and I hope it will be for you as well. Check out additional A.I. info by clicking the link above. Have you used A.I. in your business? We'd love to hear your experience in the comments below.
