Artificial Intelligence (AI) works like the neurons in our brains. It takes inputs, then it has to use them to make sense of reality. When a computer algorithm takes inputs, it follows a series of procedures to acquire an output: calculations, analyses, conditions and comparisons--to name some processes. While an algorithm could be helpful, we can use AI to read between the lines like a person can. We can think of this usage as weighing the impact of factors on an outcome.

For example, a basic computer algorithm might map snacks to a decrease in bodyweight and map meals to an increase in bodyweight. An AI could weigh the IMPACT of snacks and meals. By doing so, for instance, it might suss out the fact that snacks lead to binging and less healthy foods, therefore an increase in weight. This is an insight rather than a basic calculation. It's this very advantage of AI that allows it to account for quality (versus quantity) without observing our lives with eyes (unless you're using image recognition technology). Instead, we simply feed it data about us and let it adjust itself based on cause-and-effect in our lives (factors-and-outcome).
