What is Artificial Intelligence? How do Computers Understand Us?
Watch our founder and CEO, Parsa Ghaffari (@parsaghaffari) and Kevin Koidl (@koidl), a Research Fellow at Trinity College Dublin's Department of Computer Science and the ADAPT research centre, talk Computer intelligence at a recent talk they gave at Science Gallery, Dublin. This interactive discussion, takes you from general AI, right through to the modern day applications of narrow AI paying, particular attention to a real life example, the Bigfoot App, which was created as part of the Lifelogging exhibition, currently running at Science Gallery, Dublin.
