A Beginner's Guide to AI/ML – Machine Learning for Humans – Medium

After a couple of AI winters and periods of false hope over the past four decades, rapid advances in data storage and computer processing power have dramatically changed the game in recent years. Artificial intelligence is the study of agents that perceive the world around them, form plans, and make decisions to achieve their goals. Meanwhile, we're continuing to make foundational advances towards human-level artificial general intelligence (AGI), also known as strong AI. The definition of an AGI is an artificial intelligence that can successfully perform any intellectual task that a human being can, including learning, planning and decision-making under uncertainty, communicating in natural language, making jokes, manipulating people, trading stocks, or… reprogramming itself.
