What is AI? Ingredients for Intelligence
When I tell people that I work at an AI company, they often follow up with "So what kind of machine learning/deep learning do you do?" This isn't surprising, as most of the market attention (and hype) in and around AI has been centered around Machine Learning, and its high profile subset Deep Learning, and around Natural Language Processing, with the rise of the chatbot and virtual assistants. But while machine learning is a core component for artificial intelligence, AI is in fact more than just ML. So what does it really mean for an application to be "intelligent"? What does it take to create a system that is "artificially intelligent? In the real world, the late and great Alan Turing came up a test to measure whether a machine is able to exhibit behaviour is that equivalent to that of a human, aptly known as the Turing Test.
