What Are Algorithms?

Time for a tech lesson!

Abby is joined by Professor of Computer Science at the University of Washington Dr. Pedro Domingos for a lesson about algorithms.

Dr. Domingos defines what an algorithm is and explains the precision and hard work that goes into creating them. He provides insight on the broad application of algorithms and shares how they’re used in animation, machinery, websites, and more. Later, Dr. Domingos looks ahead to the future of machine learning and artificial intelligence and discusses how they could change how algorithms are used and developed.
