I was curious.
The idea of driverless cars has been, and still is, fascinating to me. And so is the technology that makes driverless cars possible — artificial intelligence (AI). Like many, I grew up enjoying books, movies, and TV shows that featured machines that could think in similar ways as humans. But what was once science fiction has now become reality.
A couple of years ago, I began a quest to really understand how AI works. I already knew the general concepts, but I wanted to delve into the nitty-gritty of one of the most revolutionary technologies of all time. So I read everything I could get my hands on, from fairly high-level books to textbooks to websites geared toward AI developers.
Along the way, I decided to build my own AI system. One thing even more interesting to me than AI is investing, so I decided to combine the two and develop an AI system that could make investment recommendations. That system is now up and running. And it told me just how smart Warren Buffett really is.
