How AI works
AI Dictionary
Neural Network
A computing system loosely inspired by the brain, made of many connected layers that learn from data.
Each layer transforms the data a little. With enough layers and examples, the network learns complex patterns like faces, speech or motion.
Example
Every modern image and video generator runs on a large neural network.
