Step 1 of 4

What you'll learn in this level

  • How an AI guesses the next action from a movement
  • Why the place matters so much for a prediction
  • Why predictions can never be certain

Guessing What Comes Next

In action prediction an AI guesses what happens next. That is one of the hardest jobs for a computer.

This sits in self-driving cars. Also in sport analysis and in safety systems.

How a Prediction Works

  1. Look at the pose

    The AI looks at how someone stands. It also looks at where they go and how fast.

  2. The surroundings

    It also looks at where this is happening. The place changes the guess a lot.

  3. Learn patterns

    The AI has watched thousands of videos. That way it learned what people usually do next.

  4. How sure?

    For every guess the AI also says how sure it is.

Here you guess yourself what happens next. Then you compare with the AI.

Guess first, then experiment

A child runs towards the road. Can an AI say for sure whether it will stop?
