Ever wondered how Facebook tracks your ad preferences? Or perhaps what makes your Siri or Alexa tick? Maybe you're simply a philosopher at heart and you enjoy asking questions like "Can machines think?" Inquiries such as these can be explained with the ~simple~ concept of AI! Tune in as we discuss the study and application of AI (i.e. artificial intelligence) in both academic and industry settings with Dr. Risto Miikkulainen, professor from the University of Texas at Austin and associate VP at Cognizant! Decrypting the mysteries of artificial life and decision making, we touch upon the differences between neural networks and evolutionary computation as well as neuroevolution, social change and applied mathematics. They say the future is written in code; you just need to write your way into it!
