Listen "E56 - AI Explained - Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Generative AI and more"
Episode Synopsis
This podcast episode from Everything Product dives into the key terminologies and concepts around artificial intelligence (AI) that product managers should understand. The hosts Sid Saladi, Phani and Srinath provide a great summary explaining AI, machine learning, generative AI, natural language processing, and more π€π‘
They compare how the human brain works to AI neural networks and algorithms. Examples are given to explain supervised vs. unsupervised learning, like how Facebook tagging works. The benefits of natural language processing are covered, where humans can communicate in plain language rather than code.
Some predictions are made around innovations we'll see from AI in 3-5 years. AI is expected to empower individuals by accelerating software development and making complex tasks easier. But potential downsides are also discussed like plagiarism and distinguishing human vs. AI created content.
Overall this is an insightful episode for any product manager looking to better understand artificial intelligence and how it may impact their products! π
