A handwritten number can take thousands of forms, yet people recognize it instantly. Teaching a computer to do the same helped change the direction of AI. This episode explains training data, parameters, error correction, and backpropagation without the equations, then follows neural networks through their revival in the 1980s and the data-rich world created by digitisation and the web. Deep Blue’s victory over Garry Kasparov became a cultural milestone, while biased datasets exposed a harder truth: machines learn patterns from human records, including our blind spots.
Produced by Rogue Media Network. Narration was created with an AI voice selected by the producer.
