Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning In A GRC World

But what does it mean, and more importantly, what might it mean for you in the future? First, let's get on the same page in case you are one of the many who looks up most acronyms these days because acronyms appear and disappear so quickly. "A branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers (…machine to imitate intelligent human behavior)" "A field of computer science that uses statistical techniques to give computer systems the ability to'learn' (e.g., progressively improve performance of a specific task) with data, without being explicitly programmed" Another related term is "expert system," closely related to both AI and ML, which uses a knowledge base of expert information plus an inference engine to make decisions and solve complex problems. The Merriam-Webster definition of AI (specifically, "…machine to imitate intelligent human behavior") did put a smile on my face as I contemplated whether a computer imitating stupid human behavior would qualify as artificial intelligence, or do we also need a definition for artificial stupidity? You may think I'm kidding, but it's only a slight exaggeration if you realize that some of the current buzz around Google Duplex and Assistant emphasizes a computer agent that can imitate the voice, pauses, and false starts inherent in human communication.
