No one can agree what artificial intelligence is, but let's put the definition a side and take a deep dive into the various approaches and algorithms used to achieve AI with code and visual examples which may be more applicable to your real-world problem spaces, instead of trying to build a super intelligence overlord!

Artificial intelligence is a huge field. Approaches like machine learning and deep learning have taken the news headlines, but there are many more simpler approaches to solving problems – and much of the time can be more suitable in your context. This talk dives into AI algorithm approaches, not from a theoretical angle, but from an algorithmic perspective with practical, visual, code examples of how they work, and what problems they solve. This talk will touch on concepts including the nature of data and algorithms, planning and searching, evolutionary algorithms, machine learning, reinforcement learning, artificial immune systems, and more. You will walk away equipped with the building blocks of AI that you can wield to your will.

A history of my talks can be found here: https://rhurbans.com/. I am also working with Manning Publications to write a book on this topic which is currently in development. By March 2019, the book will be available in early access online.
