My name is Ale Flores, and I'm product[br]manager at Alexa.

0:00:12.500,0:00:15.220
My name is Dr. Chelsea Haupt. I work at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence,

0:00:15.360,0:00:19.500
and I work on an AI-powered academic search engine.

All around you, computers are making[br]decisions, and those decisions affect

0:00:26.020,0:00:31.259
your daily life. When you do an internet[br]search or scroll through your newsfeed,

0:00:31.260,0:00:34.360
computers decide what you see.

0:00:34.360,0:00:39.060
Computers can already recognize your face and understand your voice,

0:00:39.060,0:00:44.080
soon they'll be driving cars and detecting diseases, even better than humans.

0:00:44.480,0:00:46.900
So how is any of this possible?

0:00:47.520,0:00:52.960
You may have heard of something called AI or artificial intelligence.

0:00:53.320,0:00:56.780
True artificial intelligence is decades away.

0:00:57.200,0:01:01.520
But a type of AI is here today, called Machine Learning.

0:01:01.520,0:01:05.360
It's a type of AI you probably interact with every day, without knowing it.

0:01:05.360,0:01:10.700
It has the opportunity to help us tackle some of the world's biggest challenges.

0:01:12.660,0:01:18.180
Machine learning is how computers recognize patterns, and make decisions

0:01:18.180,0:01:21.360
without being explicitly programmed.

0:01:21.820,0:01:27.580
What's so exciting, is that it's a completely[br]different way to program a computer than

0:01:27.580,0:01:29.620
what we've ever done before.

0:01:31.340,0:01:36.860
With machine learning, instead of programming a computer step by step,

0:01:37.360,0:01:43.760
you can program to learn just like you learn, through trial and error, and lots of practice.

0:01:44.560,0:01:48.880
Learning comes from experience, and that's true for machine learning too.

0:01:49.280,0:01:53.700
In this case, "experience" means lots and lots of data.

0:01:54.500,0:01:57.560
Machine learning can take in any kind of data:

0:01:57.560,0:02:04.520
Images, video, audio, or text, and begin to[br]recognize patterns in that data.

0:02:06.300,0:02:11.120
Once it learns to recognize patterns in the data, it can also learn to make predictions

0:02:11.120,0:02:12.980
based on those patterns.

0:02:13.340,0:02:18.420
Like noticing the difference between an image of a car, and an image of a bicycle.

0:02:20.600,0:02:26.200
AI and machine learning are playing a bigger and bigger role in society at large,

0:02:26.640,0:02:29.000
and shaping all of our futures.

0:02:29.000,0:02:34.600
That's why it's so important to learn how it works, with some hands-on experience.

0:02:35.000,0:02:39.000
You're about to get the chance to train your own machine learning model.

0:02:40.940,0:02:47.020
Remember, AI is like any tool: first you get the knowledge, then you get the power!
