But the reality is much less dramatic. The term AI, as it is used in pop culture, in fact refe

However, the creation of artificial general intelligence that could rival the human brain is still in the very distant future. The term narrow AI ha

Such systems are already part of our lives, though we may not be aware of them (e.g., the autocorrect function on a phone or speech assistance on a smartphone). One form of AI has received a lot of media attention deep

It sparks the idea of true artificial general intelligence or a copy of the human brain. But how far away are we from achieving tha

The best supercomputers can barely compute an artificial neural network of 16 million neurons that is the capacity of a frogs brain. Although this may not sound impressive, it shows that focusing this capability on a very smal
