AI Definitions: Supervised training

Supervised training - In this type of AI training, the data is labeled by humans before giving it to the AI. For example, the AI might be given a database of messages labeled either “spam” or “not spam.”  This is the most common type of machine learning. Expensive and time-consuming, this type of training is used in voice recognition, language translation, and self-driving cars. Anything that takes only a second for a person to do is something that might be performed by AI through supervised training. This is why jobs that are a series of one-second tasks are at risk from it (such as security guard). Most of the present economic value of AI comes from this type of training.
