How AI Works
You've probably heard about artificial intelligence, also known as AI. But how does AI work, and what are some of the possibilities and implications of AI? In this video, you'll get a taste of how AI works and some of the ways that it can impact our lives.

- who thinks that robots will take everybodys job(3 votes)
- Not everyones, because we still need humans for many things. Like we would still need people to develop the AI itself.(6 votes)
- If AI doesn't always get things correct and it messes up often, why can it be used in the medical industry and other professional areas where there cannot be mistakes?(3 votes)
- Hi Ava!
AI used in the medical industry most likely uses deep reinforcement learning, which is learning by being set in a place and learning, failing until you get it right.

- I want to make an AI Catan game where the AI learns your strategy while you play and responds with a counter(gains experience the more you play against it, you can gain experience by programming presets for strategies you want to play against) that can be played with a computer or with others, I don't know how.(4 votes)
- That sound like alot of fun! First you should start by learning coding!(1 vote)
- Can I make my own AI(2 votes)
- Yes, I think so, but it would require a lot of data trawling and you would need a load of memory on your computer.(4 votes)
- And Like AI (smarter than most and all people) why should we study something smarter than people? How come we shouldn't be scared of them?(2 votes)
- Because we can use it to change the world, and make it better. There are so many uses for AI like it was described in the video, just because it could become "smarter" than us, doesn't mean we should avoid it. The smarter AI gets, the smarter we get too, in terms of learning how to use and control AI, as well as learning the things that AI could discover for us. I think the term "smarter" than us is wrongly used. Yes it will eventually have much more computing power than the human brain and I understand how that sounds dangerous, but that doesn't mean that it will try to overpower us, especially if we take the right precautions and be responsible. You have to remember: AI is a tool that we create to help us with our endeavors, not a being that will become smarter and more powerful than us.(3 votes)
- can we make an AI(2 votes)
- after completing this course Can I get any certificate or prove that I have completed this course?(2 votes)
- I don't think Khan Academy works like that. Khan doesn't give certificates. Instead it gives you badges. Badges certify that you have done something, example: Mad Scientist: Make changes to an official program.(1 vote)
- why is the sky blue(0 votes)
- Sunlight scatters in Earth's atmosphere, and shorter wavelengths, like blue, are dispersed more than longer wavelengths, giving the sky its blue appearance.(5 votes)
- Will we learn how to make AI stuff or just learn about AI?(1 vote)
- We will learn about the ethics of AI and how it can be used.(1 vote)
Video transcript
AI is the most transformative technology
of our time. From precision agriculture to precision medicine, from personalized
e-commerce to personalized education, and from connected cars to connected homes, it's likely you're already experiencing many of the everyday applications of AI in your life. In this video series, you'll learn
how AI works, and why it matters. You'll see how with AI, we can use data
to train computers on just about anything. You'll explore how we can use AI to
simulate neural networks, in order to learn, and how AI enables computers
to recognize objects too. And importantly, you'll learn about
the broad societal impacts of AI, and how to guard against unintended consequences. It's inspiring to see what AI can do in the
hands of change makers who harness it to address society's most pressing challenges. At the same time, we must ensure we build AI responsibly, taking a principled approach and
asking the difficult questions: like not what computers CAN do,
but what computers SHOULD do. I'm excited to see what each of
you will dream and invent with AI, and how you will apply this powerful technology
to build the world that we all want to live in. I hope you enjoy this course!
Thank you all very much!
