Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that enables computers and systems to derive meaningful information from digital images, videos, and other visual inputs - and take actions or make recommendations based on that information. At a high level, computer vision involves processing visual data using algorithms and deep learning models to mimic human vision. The computer analyzes patterns and features in visual data to identify objects, faces, scenes, and actions.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is on the brink of unlocking a new era in nearly every industry, from healthcare to manufacturing. However, until recently, conducting AI research remained exclusive to well-funded labs and academics with extensive computational resources and domain knowledge. The emergence of accessible AI research tools like Llama 2 is changing this paradigm, empowering individuals and small teams to contribute to the AI revolution. Here's how Llama's accessibility transforms AI research and why every aspiring AI enthusiast should take note.
