This podcast episode from Everything Product dives into the key terminologies and concepts around artificial intelligence (AI) that product managers should understand. The hosts Sid Saladi, Phani and Srinath provide a great summary explaining AI, machine learning, generative AI, natural language processing, and more 🤓💡 They compare how the human brain works to AI neural networks and algorithms. Examples are given to explain supervised vs. unsupervised learning, like how Facebook tagging works.
