Artificial Intelligence Explained in Simple Terms

Real-world examples of Machine Learning, Neural Networks and Deep Learning in action

There are many great articles about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its benefits for business and society. However, many of these articles are too technical for the average reader. I love reading about AI, but I sometimes think to myself, ‘Gee, I wish the author had explained this in simple English.’
