What is Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning: Terminology, and general concepts

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Tyler Berzin introduces the basic concepts of artificial intelligence (AI) in endoscopy. He begins by explaining the terminology used in AI, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning. He highlights that AI refers to computer systems and algorithms that can perform tasks requiring human intelligence. Berzin emphasizes that AI is currently limited to specific tasks and is not capable of mimicking human intelligence fully. He discusses the recent advancements in AI, particularly in specific tasks such as playing chess and speech recognition. Berzin also explains the overlapping terminology in the AI field, including subsets such as machine learning and deep learning. He further explores computer vision and natural language processing as specific applications of AI. Berzin discusses the challenges of training data-hungry algorithms, the importance of labeling vast amounts of data, and the potential of natural language processing in transforming unstructured data. He also addresses the fragility and limitations of AI, such as its inability to adapt to different environments and its susceptibility to overfitting. Berzin concludes by emphasizing the need for collaboration between gastroenterologists and AI experts to further develop AI applications in the field.
