Sam Lightstone discusses how AI is fundamentally changing computer science and the practice of coding. Sam explains what we mean by artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and data science and how they differ from each other. He then outlines common tools and languages as well as emerging ones that offer powerful simplification and improved scalability. Along the way, you’ll hear about deep fakes, generative adversarial networks (GANs), neurosynaptic computing, and much more.
Join in to discover what machine learning means today and explore recent advances in hardware and software and breakthrough innovations.
This session is sponsored by IBM.
