Artificial Intelligence and Why We Should Care
Almost lost out on this week's writing. A lot has been going on with Artificial Intelligence also known as AI, and it seems to be sweeping across everywhere. Some people have concerns about understanding it, and a lot of people fear they may lose their jobs to it. So in this short article, I'll try to explain what AI is and how we can allay any fears about it, as fears always surround things we do not understand. First, AI is a field of study concerned with making computers have human-like attributes like understanding language, images, and video contents, and lots more. AI is powered by machine learning(ML), which is a technique of teaching computers how to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. It involves different of mathematical and programming principles. The foundation of all these lies in captured data. It is not rocket science or magic. Computers learn from data and using massive amounts of data, ML is able to identify patterns and make predictions based
