The video introduces the depth first search (DFS) algorithm, comparing it with breadth first search (BFS). DFS explores one branch deeply before backtracking, using a stack data structure. An example demonstrates DFS on a graph, highlighting its non-optimal pathfinding compared to BFS. The video concludes with a comparison of both algorithms' efficiency and applicability, especially in infinite graphs.
