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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Tyler discusses the basic concepts of artificial intelligence (AI) in endoscopy. He starts by defining AI as computer systems and algorithms that can perform tasks requiring human intelligence. He mentions that AI is integrated into our daily lives through smartphones and cars. Tyler explains that in the past five years, AI has achieved human-level performance for specific tasks like playing chess or speech recognition. However, he clarifies that AI is still limited to task-specific applications and is far from reaching a generalized AI that can mimic human intelligence fully. Tyler also discusses the overlapping terminology in the AI field, including subsets like machine learning and deep learning. He explains how machine learning involves training algorithms to recognize specific features, while deep learning uses artificial neural networks to learn and make decisions. Tyler emphasizes the importance of data collection and labeling in training AI algorithms and mentions the challenges of AI's fragility and overfitting. He concludes by urging collaboration between gastroenterologists and AI experts to further develop AI technologies in the field of endoscopy. No credits are granted in the video.
