DConf '23--A Beginner's Journey with AI in D--Murilo Miranda

Murilo talks about his journey learning AI, what he's discovered about it, the ins and outs most people do not understand, and how he did it all purely in D. He was able to implement neural networks to do a variety of tasks, such as text and color recognition. He's created his own neural network creator software, which in turn was also written in D.
