Episode 21 - What is AI?

In Episode 21 of '100 Days of Data,' Jonas and Amy demystify the world of Artificial Intelligence by breaking down what AI really is—and what it’s not. From its roots in rule-based logic to today’s data-driven machine learning systems, the hosts explore how AI operates, how businesses use it, and why it’s often misunderstood. They clarify common myths, distinguish between Narrow and General AI, and emphasize the importance of data quality, transparency, and ethical considerations. Through real-world examples, like predictive maintenance in manufacturing and retail recommendation systems, the episode paints a grounded picture of AI as a powerful but practical tool. The hosts stress that AI isn't magical—it’s math, models, and data working at scale to mimic certain human cognitive tasks.
