To explain AI in a simple way, Usman makes an analogy with AI as humans. Humans get data from various sensors, namely the five senses, in their bodies. Furthermore, the data will be sent to the brain to be studied. Today, there is a huge amount of digital data known as Big Data. The digital data is then processed and categorized by an “artificial brain” called machine learning and deep learning. Later, the categorization produces conclusions that can make the machine take a decision or action. “Artificial intelligence is a series, starting from obtaining, processing, collecting data, to drawing conclusions,” Usman explained. read more
