  • E56 - AI Explained - Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Generative AI and more

    This podcast episode from Everything Product dives into the key terminologies and concepts around artificial intelligence (AI) that product managers should understand. The hosts Sid Saladi, Phani and Srinath provide a great summary explaining AI, machine learning, generative AI, natural language processing, and more 🤓💡

    They compare how the human brain works to AI neural networks and algorithms. Examples are given to explain supervised vs. unsupervised learning, like how Facebook tagging works. The benefits of natural language processing are covered, where humans can communicate in plain language rather than code.
