If you’ve been on the internet lately, you’ve probably heard a ton of talk about AI and machine learning. A lot of computers do this with something called neural networks, which allow computers to “learn” how to do something instead of depending on instructions from humans.

Here’s an intro to neural networks in 3 minutes :)
