What are the first things we think about when someone says Artificial Intelligence? Many of us think of general AIs, like Data, Marvin, or the Cylons. Maybe we think about ChatGPT, Dall-E, or Midjourney. Do you think about Google Maps? How your characters move in a video game? What about the ranking algorithms of Netflix and YouTube? Chances are you’re carrying two or three devices at least partially designed by AI on your person. AI is so ubiquitous we often don’t realize when we’re using it. This talk aims to provide a broad overview of AI so that we can recognize when and where AI is touching our lives.
