One Bit Explainer: Neural Networks

This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer.

Explainer

Neural networks enable computers to learn from data patterns and relations. Inspired by the human brain, they process information through interconnected layers of nodes, thriving in solving hard-to-systematize problems such as image and speech recognition.

Additional Context

This week, I participated in a TensorFlow.js workshop that was a great motivation to start learning about AI. I loved the session, and truly believe that with AI being more and more present in our lives, it's so important to break down its magic by developing a basic understanding of the technologies behind it.

And for anybody who is interested in learning about AI, while researching, I found this book by Michael Nielsen: Neural Networks and Deep Learning book. It has great explanations and helped me grasp some basic concepts.
