Machine Learning: The Honest First Lesson

Whiteboard crossing out three claims that machine learning introductions get wrong: wrong dates, a skipped collapse, and driverless claims, with a fact-check box and the note that the checked version starts with Samuel checkers program.

TL;DR 30 sec6 min coredeep dive optional Machine learning lets software work out its own rules from examples instead of following instructions a programmer typed, and every model in the field trains through one repeating cycle of prediction, penalty, and update. Samuel’s checkers program was already learning at IBM in 1949; a paper he published… Continue reading →

What Artificial Intelligence Actually Is

Whiteboard opening frame headed You already live with AI, with boxes for ChatGPT, Google Translate and Netflix, crossing out the phrase replicating human behavior and thoughts and noting in red that it promises a robot brain the field never built, beside a green arrow pointing to the checked version.

TL;DR 30 sec6 min coredeep dive optional Artificial intelligence is a capability of computational systems, software that takes in information about its surroundings and works toward the goals it was given; the working definition promises no copy of a person, and the field’s record never delivered one. The field opened with a 1955 bet that… Continue reading →

The Branches of AI (and Where ML Sits)

Whiteboard from the video titled Branch charts disagree: two hand-drawn branch charts side by side, one with ten branches and one with seven, with a red oval circling machine learning and neural networks together on the ten-branch chart, captioned most-shared chart, and a green note reading here is the checked map.

TL;DR30 sec6 min coredeep dive optional The branches of AI are subfields that each do the same four jobs differently; machine learning is one branch, with neural networks inside it and deep learning a layer deeper still. Two tutorial pages from one source disagree on the count: the AI page lists ten branches, the machine… Continue reading →
