48 分钟Welcome to Huberman Lab Essentials,
where we revisit past episodes for the most potent and actionable science-based tools for mental health,
physical health, and performance.
And now, my conversation with Dr. Lex Friedman.
We meet again.
We meet again.
I have a question that I think is on a lot of people's minds,
or ought to be on a lot of people's minds.
What is artificial intelligence,
and how is it different from things like machine learning and robotics?
So I think of artificial intelligence first as a big philosophical thing.
It's our longing to create other intelligent systems, perhaps systems more powerful than us.
At the more narrow level, I think it's also a set of tools.
that are computational mathematical tools to automate different tasks.
And then also, it's our attempt to understand our own mind.
So build systems that exhibit some intelligent behavior in order to understand what is intelligence in our own selves.
So all those things are true.
Of course, what...
ai really means as a community as a set of researchers and engineers it's a set of tools a set of computational techniques that allow you to solve various problems there's a long history that approaches the problem from different perspectives what's always been throughout one of the threads one of the communities goes under the flag of machine learning which is emphasizing in the ai space the the task of learning how do you make a machine that knows very little in the beginning follow some kind of process and learns to become better and better in a particular task what's been most Very effective in the recent about 15 years is a set of techniques that fall under the flag of deep learning that utilize neural networks.
It's a network of these little basic computational units called neurons, artificial neurons.
