HYBRID** Sand and Tame Lightning: Inside an AI

AIA - Artificial Intelligence Algarve

In this talk, Tom Murphy will presume you know nothing about AI, specifically Neural Networks (the tech behind most AI today). Without delving into the maths or tech behind them, he will explain in simple English how AI works.
We'll discuss the theory, the practise and the problems with AI.
By the end you should have a good understanding of Neural Networks and why they need so much power, data and how they are built, used and abused.

Equal parts entertaining and educational, this is AI for all.

Whether you're an AI expert, a tech enthusiast, or simply curious about the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, this event is the perfect opportunity to connect, collaborate, and learn.
