Up until this point, I've covered Artificial intelligence (AI) from a human perspective (including how AI does or doesn't correspond with human intelligence, simulated or otherwise). A Brief History of Modern AI The desire to create intelligent machi...

It's been a while since my last post on this particular topic. I got distracted by the state of my financies and trying to improve it (all the while forgetting that learning AI was motivated by learning skills to alleviate that). In this post, I'm go...

AI is everywhere today (or at least mentions of it would have you believe so). I can't avoid it, so I might as well learn about it. (If you can't beat it, at least join in and develop it before it makes you redundant, right? That's my thinking, anywa...
