Insights and Practical Applications

The term Artificial Intelligence (AI) is often carelessly used nowadays, sometimes even applied when only basic statistical methods are described. In this presentation, we will define the term AI and provide insights into the functionality of AI methods. We will explore the opportunities presented by current AI methods and discuss why AI is currently generating hype. Additionally, we will address its flaws and over-expectations. To provide practical insights into the use of AI, we will showcase its application in various research projects.
