🧠 Important AI Concepts

Neural Networks

Inspired by the human brain, neural networks consist of layers of connected "neurons" that process information and learn to recognize patterns.

Example: Input → Hidden Layer → Output

Deep Learning

A subset of machine learning that uses multiple layers of neural networks to learn complex patterns and abstractions.

Depth: More layers = More complex patterns

Machine Learning

Algorithms that automatically learn from data without being explicitly programmed, allowing them to improve through experience.

Principle: Data → Learning → Prediction

âš¡ The Future of AI

With the foundations that Hinton and other pioneers have laid, we are on the eve of a new AI revolution. Artificial intelligence will become increasingly integrated into our daily lives, from self-driving cars to personalized healthcare.
