What exactly is A.I. in it’s current form?

253 views

Growing up I always thought when AI was achieved it would be something like a robot or computer that was almost sentient. Obviously we haven’t reached those levels yet but I still constantly hear about all these things that are being done with AI. So in simple terms how does our current AI work?

A program that is designed to program itself and/or other programs, to achieve a specific goal.

For example, a site like Amazon will use AI algorithms to show you the most relevant products to what a specific customer would want to buy, based on your data compared with millions of people’s data. If customers aren’t buying a specific product that’s shown to them, the AI will tweak itself to show that product to different people, and the algorithm’s success rate goes up if it starts showing that product to people who will more likely buy it.

Or an AI program could play through a level of Super Mario World 1,000 times, making slight tweaks to each button press and each move, until it successfully completes a level as quickly as possible.
