Ontology Explained: Philosophy and AI

@UCp1fkZgvafg05wqe1Rc2UlA - 4.8K subscribers

After earning my PhD in philosophy, I found my way into AI as an ontologist. I'm here to evangelize, educate, demystify, and hopefully entertain viewers at the intersection of philosophy and AI. My videos will include general introductions to dense or interesting topics, tutorials to create your own ontologies, business insights into the value of technologies, and more philosophical things. You can find an email for me if you're signed into Google. You can also find me on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/casey-hart-7a032ba4/
