This talk aims to give a non-mathematical overview of recent developments in artificial intelligence, and discuss some contemporary achievements as well as applications of machine learning. I cover basic concepts of relevant technologies at a high level, with the objective of giving the audience an idea of the actual capabilities of state-of-the-art AI methods, such as those based on e.g. deep-learning.
