What is Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning?
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence simply means incorporating human intelligence into machines. It’s an academic division that gets machines to mimic human behavior and intelligence.
Examples of this include simple computer games that an individual can play with the machine/computer as their opponent. Artificial intelligence is the output produced by the computer based on certain preset conditions. The computer is doing something intelligent, so it’s exhibiting an artificially developed intelligence.
Machine Learning
Machine Learning simply means teaching computers to learn like humans. It’s a sub division of Artificial Intelligence that mimics the process by which humans learn. Humans feed an algorithm into the computer’s memory, that learns to make logical deductions and follow familiar patterns to respond.
Examples of this include simple fraud detection software offered by banking organizations to their customers. The machine/system is filled with some conditions based on which it analyzes if the transaction is being made by the owner or someone else. This is more complex than simply producing an output, since it mimics the way a human brain thinks. It’s not a simple calculation of 2+2=4 but analyzes why 2+2 is 4.
Deep Learning
Deep Learning is a much more complex subset of Machine Learning, that classifies information, identifies patterns, labels the information based on previous experience and compares it to similar data in order to make logical decisions. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are a common type of algorithmic deductions that machines use to mimic the way neurons work in the human brain, and make complex decisions like humans.
Examples of this include self driven car or chatbots. There are complex and spontaneous decisions made by these services that mimic the human brain’s thinking process. This helps them perform tasks like answering customers queries, drive a car or do work traditionally performed by human beings.
