Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence: Crash Course Computer Science #34

Subject Area

Digital Literacy and Computer Science

Grade(s)

6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Overview

From spam filters and self-driving cars to cutting edge medical diagnosis and real-time language translation, there has been an increasing need for our computers to learn from data and apply that knowledge to make predictions and decisions. This is the heart of machine learning which sits inside the more ambitious goal of artificial intelligence.
