digital divide

the gap between those who have access to technology and its resources and information, especially on the Internet, and those who do not.

Artificial intelligence (AI)

the technological use of logic and prior experience to simulate human intelligence. AI has a variety of capabilities, such as speech recognition, virtual reality, logical reasoning, and creative responses. Computers with AI can collect information to make decisions, reach conclusions, and combine information in new ways, which is a form of learning.

RhythmOne

Finds videos or other multimedia; uses speech recognition to match the audio part of a video with your search term

.com
