After many false beginnings, artificial intelligence (AI) has made astonishing progress in the past few years. AI, sometimes referred to as cognitive computing, refers to computers learning how to complete tasks traditionally done by humans. Thanks to a versatile technique called “deep learning,” large neural computer networks modeled on the architecture of the human brain, can be trained to do all kinds of tasks if given enough data. These networks power Facebook’s automatic photo tagging, Google’s search engine, Amazon’s shopping recommendations and self-driving cars.
