Seriously: What is artificial intelligence?
Bloomberg Beta partner James Cham talks with Recode's Kara Swisher and Mark Bergen about why artificial intelligence is hot again and whether we're at risk of another "AI winter" in which investment dries up. Cham explains some common terms from the field, such as "machine learning" and "computer vision," and wonders if consumers will opt to take more control of the personal data that AI companies need. He, Kara and Mark answer questions from our readers and listeners about artificial intelligence and the famous Turing Test, which measures whether a computer can pass for human intelligence.
