In this class, you learn about the state of the art and also practice implementing machine learning algorithms yourself.

You learn about the most important machine learning algorithms, some of which are exactly what's being used in large AI or large tech companies today,

and you get a sense of what is the state of the art in AI.

Beyond learning the algorithms, though, in this class, you also learn all the important practical tips and tricks for making them perform well,

and you get to implement them and see how they work for yourself.

So why is machine learning so widely used today?

Machine learning had grown up as a subfield of AI or artificial intelligence.

We wanted to build intelligent machines, and it turns out that there are a few basic things that we could program a machine to do, such as how to find the shortest path from A to B,

like in your GPS.

But for the most part, we just did not know how to write an explicit program to do many of the more interesting things, such as perform web search,

recognize human speech, diagnose diseases from x-rays, or build a self-driving car.

The only way we knew how to do these things was to have a machine learn to do it by itself.

For me, when I founded and was leading the Google Brain team, I worked on problems like speech recognition, computer vision for Google Maps,

street view images, and advertising.

Or leading AI at Baidu, I worked on everything from AI for augmented reality to combating payment fraud to leading a self-driving car team.

Most recently, Atlantic AI, AI funded at Stanford University, I've been getting to work on AI applications in manufacturing,

large-scale agriculture, healthcare, e-commerce, and other problems.

Today, there are hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of people, working on machine learning applications who could tell you similar stories about their work with machine learning.

When you've learned these skills, I hope that you too will find it great fun to dabble in exciting different applications and maybe even different industries.

In fact, I find it hard to think of any industry

that machine learning is unlikely to touch in a significant way now or in the near future.

Looking even further into the future, many people, including me, are excited about the AI dream of someday building machines as intelligent as you or me.

This is sometimes called Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI.

I think AGI has been overhyped and we're still a long way away from that goal.

I don't know if it'll take 50 years or 500 years or longer to get there,

but most AI researchers believe that the best way to get closer to that goal is by using learning algorithms,

maybe ones that take some inspiration from how the human brain works.

You also hear a little more about this quest for AGI later in this course.

According to a study by McKinsey,

AI and machine learning is estimated to create an additional $13 trillion of value annually by the year 2030.

Even though machine learning is already creating tremendous amounts of value in the software industry, I think there could be even vastly greater value

that is yet to be created outside the software industry in sectors such as retail,

travel, transportation, automotive, materials, manufacturing, and so on.

Because of the massive untapped opportunities across so many different sectors,

today there is a vast unfulfilled demand for this skill set.

That's why this is such a great time to be learning about machine learning.

If you find machine learning applications exciting, I hope you stick with me through this class.

I can almost guarantee that you find mastering these skills worthwhile.

In the next video, we'll look at a more formal definition of what is machine learning,

and we'll begin to talk about the main types of machine learning problems and algorithms.

You pick up some of the main machine learning terminology

and start to get a sense of what are the different algorithms and when each one might be appropriate.

So let's go on to the next video.

How to practise with this video

Listen to the whole video once without speaking and note the words you do not know.
Start at 0.75× speed, shadow it sentence by sentence, then go back to normal speed once it feels easy.
Record yourself and compare with the original, paying attention to words like algorithm, excite, augment.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
