If you are looking for an answer to the question What is Artificial Intelligence? and you only have a minute, then here's the definition the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence offers on its home page: "the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines."

However, if you are fortunate enough to have more than a minute, then please get ready to embark upon an exciting journey exploring AI (but beware, it could last a lifetime) …

Are High Level APIs Dumbing Down Machine Learning?

@machinelearnbotApr-16-2018, 22:25:14 GMT

Implementing fully connected nets, convnets, RNNs, backprop and SGD from scratch (using pure python, numpy, or even JS) and training these models on small datasets is a great way to learn how neural nets work. Invest time to gain valuable intuition before jumping onto frameworks. This elicited a series of response tweets from François Chollet (@fchollet), creator of Keras, which, when considered collectively, presents a different point of view. Grad students knew how to implement neural nets in C in 2000. And they didn't have good intuition about them.
