What Is Artificial Intelligence? Crash Course AI #1

Artificial intelligence is everywhere and it's already making a huge impact on our lives. It's autocompleting texts on our cellphones, telling us which videos to watch on YouTube, beating us at video games, recognizing us in photos, ordering products in stores, driving cars, scheduling appointments, you get the idea. Today we're going to explain what AI can (and can't) do right now and explain how we got to where we are today.

Crash Course is produced in association with PBS Digital Studios.

"Hey, Siri, is AI going to kill us all?"
"I don't understand 'Is AI going to kill us all.'"
"It's clear that those are still distant futures."
("Human subject still doesn't suspect anything. Continue operations as they were previously planned.")

John Greenbot is an exception, it doesn’t talk about wait for it....the Mongols

[malllllll]

Gosh I love Crash Course, I could binge these videos all day

[jakec]

You guys should do a new series that explains chatgpt and the current "wave" of AI. It'd be great !!!

Crash Course really is the best channel on YouTube.
Also: Great host. He really captured me for the whole episode.
Really dxcited for this class. :)

Crash Course is the single best cram channel, saved me on so many tests where my teacher just wasn't good at teaching certain subjects. He didn't teach us anything on electricity and 9 people skipped class on test day. Crash Course basically got me through the chapter.

So Stan finally has enough John voice data to create an AI crash course host.

I know John predicted it in World History but I didn't expect his job to be automated away so soon :(

7:30 breh I love how John Green is now a historical figure to be sighted lol

[SilentMuse]

Thank you for posting this! The robot is a funny example! Jabril is quite the teacher! I'm loving this series already.

Jabrillis got a CrashCourse? This is the best thing to happen.

worst thing that can happen with general ai is a robot sitting on your couch, lying to you about the work it supposedly finished, while watching 'all my circuits' and drinking your beer.

[thezebraherd]

I love how Jabrills is making all the things we asked for from him the C#/Python tutorials and now this pretty awesome thanks man

[marco.nascimento]

"I don't understand 'is AI going to kill us all.'" She's playing dumb here,

[magorzatatesta]

I love that Jabril speaks so slowly and simply. As a no-advanced English speaker it is helping me a lot.

[bharland]

This is great y'all! Besides being fascinating, this is a perfect high-level intro to AI for laypeople, kids, and other folks who may not have strong technical chops. I'm sure as this develops, we'll also get to see our host flex his expertise in the subject matter.

Way to go Jabril, you're such a good fit for this. After checking out your social media, I really appreciate your honesty and positivity... keep it up!!

[jescuii]

I love the design of this crash course. It looks so new and different. I love the host too, he speak so chill.

[skilet]

This is a really appropriate level-headed take on a complex subject! This series is going to be great!

[AwkwardlySilenced]

Thank you so much CC for taking on this series! When I finish my degree and get a job, I’m giving right back to those who inspired me the most: CC, of course! ❤️❤️❤️

[Nys]

At last, a series I am joining from chapter 1. And a very important one to understand today's world!

CrashCourse is such a great channel to subscribe to because they explain everything in a sophisticated/fun manner. It is a very well balanced channel, meaning they have a little bit of everything, and they give you a sufficient amount of information to lead you on to the right path. Personally, I love everything about it and hope that it will grow in later years.
