Video transcript

AI is the most transformative technology  of our time. From precision agriculture to precision medicine, from personalized  e-commerce to personalized education, and from connected cars to connected homes, it's likely you're already experiencing many of the everyday applications of AI in your life. In this video series, you'll learn  how AI works, and why it matters. You'll see how with AI, we can use data  to train computers on just about anything. You'll explore how we can use AI to  simulate neural networks, in order to learn, and how AI enables computers  to recognize objects too. And importantly, you'll learn about  the broad societal impacts of AI, and how to guard against unintended consequences. It's inspiring to see what AI can do in the  hands of change makers who harness it to address society's most pressing challenges. At the same time, we must ensure we build AI responsibly, taking a principled approach and  asking the difficult questions: like not what computers CAN do,  but what computers SHOULD do. I'm excited to see what each of  you will dream and invent with AI, and how you will apply this powerful technology  to build the world that we all want to live in. I hope you enjoy this course!  Thank you all very much!
