109: Reinforcement Learning—The Final Step of Making A.I.

108: Post-Training—The Third Step of Making A.I.
Father Fessio explains how A.I. is not conscious but can be used to autocomplete and predict certain answers. Then through a process of post-training, certain experts are brought in to ask A.I. a series of questions to verify the answers and tweak the algorithms so that the right answers are provided.
