Artificial intelligence is one of the hottest topics in the technology sector, but not every interested tech investor has the understanding of the subject necessary to secure solid profits. In the first part of this series, Ryan McQueeney focuses on key AI vocabulary to help those interested in learning more about the subject.

What is the difference between AI and machine learning? Why do scientists seem so obsessed with general intelligence? How does the human brain contextualize information, and can robots do the same? Hear the answers to these questions, and more, on today’s show.
