What Is an AI

 When it comes to artificial intelligence, what are we truly creating? Even those closest to its development are struggling to define the direction it is headed, says Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI and one of the key creators of the AI models used by many today. He presents an honest and compelling new vision for the future of AI, introducing an unmissable metaphor — a new digital species — to highlight this extraordinary moment in time. (Followed by a Q&A with TED's head, Chris Anderson)
