1. Read the given passage carefull
Elon Musk, a tech entrepreneur, says artificial intelligence (Al) is a bigger threat to
humanity than nuclear weapons. On the other hand, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of
Facebook thinks AI will save lives.
Regardless of whether you agree with Musk’s or Zuckerberg’s argument, what is clear is
that Al is reshaping our world. It's leading to improvements in medicine and
self-driving cars, shaking up businesses from manufacturing to marketing. Although
‘we may not know it, we already use it in our Facebook news feeds when we talk
to Siri on our iPhones or ask our Alexa-enabled speakers to play a track.
Yet, although it powers products and services we use every day, AI remains a mystery
to many. So Facebook Al experts Yann LeCun and Joaquin Quifionero Candela have
| set about simplifying this complex field of computer science in a series of educational
videos and blog posts.
“Not magic, just code’ “Artificial intelligence is not magic,” write LeCun, head of Facebook's Al
research, and Candela, Facebook's Director of Applied Machine Learning, in their blog.
| "But we've already seen how it can make scientific discoveries that seem like magic and help us do
everyday things like identify objects in photos, recognize speech, drive a car, or
translate an online post into dozens of languages.”
How does it do this? Many intelligent machines and systems use algorithmic techniques
loosely based on the human brain. These neural networks can learn to recognize
| patterns, translate languages, do simple logical reasoning, create images, and even
come up with ideas.
“All of this happens at blinding speed through a set of coded programs designed to run
neural networks with millions of units and billions of connections,” write LeCun and
Candela, “Intelligence emerges out of the interaction between this large number of
1 simple elements.”
If, for example, you want to teach a computer to tell the difference between a car and a
dog, instead of programming it to carry out the task, you can train it to recognize objects
in images so that it learns for itself.
So what is deep learning?
Deep learning is a type of machine leaming that structures neural networks into multiple
processing layers. This helps a computer identify what is in an image or learn to
recognize speech and text.
“Ina park, we can see a collie and a chihuahua, but recognize them both as dogs,
despite their size and weight variations,” write LeCun and Candela, “To a computer, an
image is simply an array of numbers." Local patterns, like the edge of an object, are
easy to spot in the first layer of this set of numbers.
“The next layer would detect combinations of these simple motifs that form simple
shapes, like the wheel of a car or the eyes in a face."
“The next layer will detect shape combinations that form parts of objects, such as a
face, a leg, or an airplane wing." “The last layer would detect combinations of parts that form objects: a car,
an airplane, a person, a dog, etc. The depth of the network, with its multiple layers, allows it to
recognize complex patterns in this hierarchical fashion.”
Deep learning is helping to push forward research in fields including physics,
engineering, biology, and medicine. It is also at the heart of developing autonomous
systems such as seli-
