AI Made Simple 3: How AI Learns (Machine & Deep Learning)

Join us at Concord Library for session 3 of our 5-part series on everything artificial intelligence (AI).

Want to understand what makes AI seem “smart”? Session 3 explains how modern AI learns from data, using machine learning and deep learning, without requiring a technical background. We will also look at why AI can be impressive and why it can sometimes be unreliable.

Murali regularly teaches and lectures on AI and related topics, including free programs at local libraries and conferences.

Session 3 will cover:

• Machine learning, what it is and how it differs from traditional software
• Deep learning, what it adds and why it matters
• Data science basics, what data is used and why quality matters
• Why AI can make mistakes (and what those mistakes look like)
• Examples that connect the concepts to everyday AI tools
