Example: Chess with pre-set algorithm Machine Learning • Defjned as: Using statistics to help machines “learn” Example: Chess, with updating algorithm based on success/failure -add info on dates for chess
AI and machine learning used on a regular basis • Enemies in video games • Google maps – analyzing traffjc speed (by taking locations and remembering other routes at difgerent times, days, weather, etc). • Spam fjlters • Market Analysis • Behavior Prediction • Recommending movies/music • Predicting terrorism
AI Coming Soon • Self-driving cars • More advanced robotics • More advanced market analysis • More advanced etc. • More interaction with society

Who Should Develop AI? • Government?

Should Developing AI Be Banned? • Cons: • What if AI can help improve the world? • What if another country/bad group develops it fjrst?
What Can We Do? • Help with loss of jobs • Regulate development of AI • World-wide?
