How to deal with the growing mountains of data? Although artificial intelligence and machine learning are mentioned more and more often in the media, many people don’t know much about them. The University of Tübingen has made a short film to help change that. Image: University of Tübingen
New video clarifies important elements of artificial intelligence in lay terms The University of Tübingen has produced a short film explaining the significance of research into machine learning. "In recent months there have been many media reports on the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning," Matthias Bethge explains. He is the University of Tübingen's professor of Computational Neuroscience and Machine Learning. "We need to provide more information to the public about the basics of this important research area, which will be one of the key technologies of the 21st century," Bethge says. The two and a half minute video uses graphics and simple terms to outline the basic principles of machine learning and shows some future applications in industry and medicine. "In the years to come we will increasingly produce vast amounts of data in areas of our life and work," says Andreas Geiger, professor of Learning-based Computer Vision at the University of Tübingen. "These mountains of data can only be reasonably evaluated by learning IT systems which get smarter as they deal with the data - and thus are able to work ever more precisely." The video also mentions that we need to address possible risks of machine learning.
