Will Learning Machines Take Over the World?

Abstract

Learning is an integral part of our lives, and the lives of all animals, but do you realize how wondrous our learning ability is? When we try to build machines that can learn, we are faced with deep questions about the nature and functioning of intelligence. In this article, I will tell you about special artificial networks, called neural networks, that mimic the brain to produce intelligent behavior. Neural networks are an integral part of artificial intelligence, widely used in many daily applications, from face recognition to autonomous driving. I am certain that neural networks will play a key role in our future lives, making them more comfortable and improving our understanding of big riddles such as what intelligence is and how our brains work.
