Artificial Intelligence - Transforming Healthcare, Episode 7, Part 1

Artificial intelligence is a simulation of human intelligence processed by machines, especially computers.

AI requires a foundation of specialized hardware and software for writing and training machine learning algorithms.

AI systems work by ingesting large amounts of labeled training data, analyzing the data for correlations and patterns, and using these patterns to make predictions about future states.

AI programming focuses on three cognitive skills: learning, reasoning, and self-correction.

Learning processes focus on acquiring data and creating rules (algorithms) for how to turn the data into actionable information.

Algorithms provide computing devices with step-by-step instructions for how to complete a specific task.

Reasoning processes focus on choosing the right algorithm for a desired outcome.

Self-correction processes are designed to continue to fine-tune algorithms and ensure they provide the most accurate results possible.
