What is AI

In this blog post we are going to ask the first and most important question there is when discovering Artificial Intelligence, we will dive into what it represents, how it is created, and the general public perception of this amazing new technology. A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P, if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E. This is the textbook definition of Machine Learning AI, the most popular amongst programmers, engineers, and people working in the field of data science. It is what we do every day at Cortex, to be more specific it's deep learning, but we won't get into that right now. Machine learning is the activity in which a statistical model "learns" useful patterns in data. It is quite similar to a toddler who absorbs all the information surrounding him like a sponge.
