In this talk, we will explore the underlying mechanisms and concepts of artificial intelligence (AI) in an accessible way. We will cover the basics of machine learning, deep learning, and other techniques that power AI systems, and how they are used to make predictions, recognize patterns, and generate insights from large datasets. We will also discuss the challenges and limitations of AI and how they are being addressed by researchers and practitioners. Attendees will come away with a better understanding of how AI works. No prior knowledge of AI is required to attend this talk.
