In this brief video, mathematician Hannah Fry provides a concise explanation of artificial intelligence. She clarifies that AI isn't actually "intelligent" in the human sense but rather uses statistics to find patterns in data. These systems excel at pattern recognition but lack true understanding.
Fry explains that AI systems are trained on vast amounts of data to identify correlations, which they use to make predictions when given new inputs. The key insight is that AI doesn't "think" but performs sophisticated pattern matching.
She emphasizes that while AI may seem magical, it's ultimately a mathematical tool that transforms input data into output predictions based on statistical patterns it has observed during training.
