Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of computers and machines to perform mental tasks commonly associated with humans, such as learning, reasoning and problem solving. Although core AI technologies such as neural networks, deep learning and rule-based systems have been known for a long time, they have developed dramatically in the past decade, bringing AI to the forefront of our lives. AI is here to stay and promises to be a disruptive force for years to come. The EPO has provided a number of resources covering this topic recently including presentations during their 2020 Tech Day and a two-day workshop on the topic in December 2020. Links to these resources can be found on the linked page.
