AI in Business

Gresham College Lectures

Jun 1 2023 • 1 hr 1 min

AI is another major technological innovation. AI needs data, or more precisely, big organized data. Most data processing is about making it useful for automatic systems such as machine learning, deep learning, and other AI systems. But one big problem with AI systems is that they lack context. An AI system is a pattern recognition machine devoid of any understanding of how the world works.

This lecture discusses how AI systems are used in business and their limitations.


A lecture by Raghavendra Rau recorded on 22 May 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.
