Understanding AI basics
Let's take a moment to review the key takeaways. The next three sections will distil the most important information from the lecture.
What AI does:
- AI is software that has been trained to recognise patterns in data
- AI makes predictions based on these patterns
What AI does not do:
- AI does not think for itself
- AI does not make diagnoses
“Think of it like an assistant who never gets tired of looking at images, numbers, or patient histories.”
— Alessandro Devigus
