Google's "Pathways" Explained

You probably already know about artificial intelligence (AI) and how it's being used more and more in our everyday lives. From the recommendation algorithms used by Netflix to the self-driving cars being developed by Tesla, AI is slowly but surely becoming a part of our world. But what you might not know is that there are many limitations in the current process of developing AI technology. Most AI systems are "dumb" in the sense that they can only be trained to do one specific task. For example, there might be a different algorithm for recognizing faces, another for understanding language, and yet another for driving a car.
