Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a recognized discipline for over 60 years. It has become one of the most popular words in the past few years, thanks to the emergence of several impactful products (such as ChatGPT and Tesla Autopilot). In this talk, I will be talking about the history of AI, its wide range of applications (in transportation, healthcare, and science), its benefits and threats, and high-level ideas of its main techniques (Convolutional Neural Networks and Autoregressive Models).
