014 - What Is a Neural Network?

from Learn AI in Bits Hosted by Dan W

What is a neural network, and why does this one idea sit underneath almost all modern AI? This episode keeps it simple: what a single unit actually does, how layers of them turn a handwritten digit into an answer, and why learning features from examples beat decades of humans writing rules by hand. Ends where transformers begin. Voice narration is AI-generated.
