This is a video from IBM presenting a list of terms and concepts related to AI in the form of a periodic. "Once you understand it you can basically decode any AI architecture." The 16 minute Khan-style video moves along at a good clip and is easy to follow. Via David Wiley. Also, in this post, Suraj Bhardwaj offers a slightly expanded version of the table and a longish (18 page PDF) explainer document. It's a good addition, though it probably defeats the purpose of the video, which is to be simple and accessible. Related: Ian O'Byrne, why we need better language for AI.
