Behind the Scenes of Intelligence

Public and even academic discussions of AI often show only the tip of the iceberg. Understanding the nature of intelligence also calls for philosophy, biology and a closer look at how intelligent systems work. This eight-hour class, taught to DBA students studying AI in business, explores those deeper layers rather than focusing only on applications. The original presentation contains videos that cannot be played in the PDF edition.
