Episode notes
INSIGHT

AI as Data Transformation

  • AI and machine learning models, at their core, transform data.
  • These models differ from regular software functions because their logic isn't explicitly programmed but learned from data.
INSIGHT

Training AI Models

  • AI models have a 'missing piece' architecture and are trained using algorithms with numerous parameters.
  • Training involves optimizing parameters to minimize error through an iterative trial-and-error process.
INSIGHT

Supervised Learning Still Dominant

  • Supervised learning, using labeled examples for training, remains dominant in AI.
  • Despite newer approaches, supervised learning models likely constitute 95% of real-world applications.
