00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.600
when someone says the words artificial intelligence one of two things come to

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.760
mind for many people an evil sentient

00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:15.440
computer that is seeking to bring about the end of humanity a la skynet from the

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.680
terminator or much less dramatically the

00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:21.920
ai NVIDIA games that results in your computer-controlled friends whereas i

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:25.680
call them frenemies running out into the open on an escort mission pushing you

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:30.080
out of cover or just running endlessly into a solid wall

00:00:27.439 --> 00:00:35.200
but the reality of how true artificial intelligence is used by organizations is

00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:41.200
really quite different you see although the way ai works is only loosely modeled

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:46.160
on the human brain it's somewhat similar in that computerized neural networks are

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:51.600
general purpose tools that can actually be trained to perform a huge variety of

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:57.039
tasks you can learn more about exactly how neural networks work up here but the

00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:02.000
gist of it is that information is passed through processing nodes according to

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:05.199
how each node weights that incoming information

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:10.159
once the information finally gets to the end of the network the output node that

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:14.000
it hits reflects how exactly the network recognized it so for example

00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:18.720
if you're trying to train a neural network to tell different animals apart

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:25.600
one output node might correspond to a whale while another might correspond to

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:28.720
a dingo or something then as training

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:31.200
occurs programmers can adjust the

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:35.680
weights of the nodes often automatically with algorithms so that eventually the

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:40.560
network will consistently get the correct results making them very

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:45.439
customizable that is as long as there's enough parallel processing power and

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:49.360
throughput available to handle tons of inputs at once

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:53.759
not only is ai-based image recognition useful for simple tasks like finding

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:58.560
cute animal photos on google image search or snapping a pic of something

00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:02.719
and doing automatic comparison shopping companies also use it for more

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:07.119
complicated applications in fact it's already being used to check for defects

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:12.720
on assembly lines without needing specific programming as well as to look

00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:16.959
at things like x-rays and mris in the medical field to pick out injuries to

00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:20.560
help human physicians double check their opinions

00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:25.840
then on the subject of injuries how about preventing them in the first place

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:28.879
the built-in ai in self-driving cars is

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:31.520
heavily trained to recognize pedestrians

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:37.040
by being shown thousands upon thousands of images of people crossing the street

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.640
so the car will know to stop instead of

00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:42.720
plowing through an intersection like lloyd christmas you can actually learn

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.400
more about how self-driving cars work right up here

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:51.760
but aside from image recognition large financial firms are now using ai to

00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:55.440
analyze the market and figure out how to invest

00:02:52.720 --> 00:03:00.160
this can take on many forms but some of these implementations will do things

00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:04.800
like keep an eye on recent news stories and what's being discussed on social

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:08.720
media to determine how world events might impact the market and then make

00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:13.680
recommendations accordingly additionally ai has already been helping

00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:18.400
these firms with high frequency trading where neural networks can quickly make

00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.760
decisions and automatically trade millions of times per day so that the

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.879
humans can i don't know focus on their water cooler

00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:29.519
chatter speaking of money for better or for

00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:34.319
worse ai has become a powerful tool for marketers it's already being used to

00:03:32.239 --> 00:03:39.680
keep tabs on foot traffic in brick and mortar stores and determine what drives

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:44.000
the most consumer interest as well as to gather data on consumers to figure out

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:48.640
how to retain them if they're thinking about switching to a competitor this is

00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:53.599
usually done by offering strategic targeted discounts or other offers

00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:58.720
also if you've done any job hunting recently there might be more to why you

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:04.720
didn't get a call back than just those embarrassing pictures on social media

00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:07.680
some hr departments are now using ais

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:12.000
that can learn what things on a resume will end up being the best match for a

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:17.040
certain position and then auto scanning them before they ever even wind up on a

00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:21.359
recruiter's desk on a more positive note for poor joshua

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:25.600
who didn't get that position he really wanted the fact that ais don't have to

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:31.040
be specifically programmed and can instead learn on the fly is a huge plus

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:35.440
for your cyber security personnel in charge of security can now deploy a

00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.759
trained neural network that can detect suspicious activity and then shut it

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:44.560
down without constantly needing new definition updates and patches so that's

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:48.080
cool josh for when you're sitting at home on your computer instead of

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:53.919
at work and the ability of an ai to learn has

00:04:50.960 --> 00:04:58.400
even led to ai produced music some major artists have already used ai to keep

00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:03.680
tabs on musical themes being discussed on social media and then come up with a

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:07.919
song that fits those trends but it even goes further than that with entire

00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:12.479
albums having been completely produced by an ai with no human intervention

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:17.919
though it might not be surprising that one such

00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:18.800
classical album was described as cold

00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:24.800
and chilling now given enough time we do expect both

00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:29.600
the programming and the power of these neural networks to improve and unlock

00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:34.560
even more exciting capabilities the thing we don't know is quite when

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:39.759
they'll begin to understand love and compose slightly warmer music today's

00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:44.800
video is brought to you by private internet access pia supports a variety

00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:48.639
of vpn protocols and types of encryption and authentication which allows you to

00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:53.199
dial in the exact level of privacy protection that you need they've got

00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:57.440
apps for Windows macOS Android iOS Linux and google chrome and you can

00:05:55.440 --> 00:06:02.400
connect up to five devices at the same time with a single account their apps

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:05.840
include dns leak protection and ipv6 leak protection and they've got an

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:10.160
internet kill switch that'll block all traffic if the vpn becomes disconnected

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:14.639
unexpectedly check it out today at the link in the video description

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.919
so thanks for watching guys like dislike check out our other videos leave a

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:21.680
comment if you have a suggestion for a future fast as possible and don't forget

00:06:19.919 --> 00:06:26.240
to subscribe and ring the bell and follow and all that good stuff

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:31.319
it's not really forgetting anymore at this point i tell them all the time it's

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.319
just abstinence
