The Vasa
• Considered to be one of the most spectacular
warships ever built
• There was an overemphasis on the ship’s

elegance and firepower and reduced
importance on its seaworthiness and stability
• Sunk just a few minutes in its maiden voyage

MVP? Got it! What about
Artificial Intelligence?
AI, ML, DL – What does it all mean?
Artificial intelligence (AI)

Any technique that enables computers to mimic human intelligence using logic,
if-then statements, and machine learning (including deep learning)
Machine learning (ML)

A subset of AI that uses machines to search for patterns
in data to build logic models automatically
Deep learning (DL)

A subset of ML composed of deeply multi-layered neural
networks that perform tasks like speech and image recognition
