Artificial Intelligence seems to be everywhere today. This talk will help you understand what AI is, and what it can and can't do. We'll talk about:

Do they really understand? 
Why might we want to limit what AI programs can do? 
Will we have super-intelligent AIs soon? (No! We'll talk about why.)
