What is artificial intelligence?

We are excited to bring Transform 2022 back in-person July 19 and virtually July 20 - 28. Join AI and data leaders for insightful talks and exciting networking opportunities. The words "artificial intelligence" (AI) have been used to describe the workings of computers for decades, but the precise meaning shifted with time. Today, AI describes efforts to teach computers to imitate a human's ability to solve problems and make connections based on insight, understanding and intuition. Artificial intelligence usually encompasses the growing body of work in technology on the cutting edge that aims to train the technology to accurately imitate or -- in some cases -- exceed the capabilities of humans. Older algorithms, when they grow commonplace, tend to be pushed out of the tent.
