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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the basic concepts of artificial intelligence (AI) in endoscopy. They explain that AI refers to computer systems and algorithms that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, and decision making. The speaker distinguishes between AI, machine learning, and deep learning, explaining that AI is a broader term that encompasses subsets like machine learning and deep learning. They also discuss computer vision and natural language processing as specific applications of AI. The speaker emphasizes that AI is still limited to specific tasks and is far from achieving generalized human-level intelligence. They mention the challenges in the field, such as the overlapping terminology and the need for large amounts of labeled data for training AI algorithms. They highlight the potential of AI in improving clinical work but also note the fragility of AI systems and the importance of collaborations between clinicians and AI experts.
