CH_02 : Artificial Intelligence vs Machine Learning vs Deep Learning

 1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad field of computer science focused on creating systems capable of performing tasks that normally require human intelligence. AI includes reasoning, learning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding.

Types of AI

1. **Narrow AI (Weak AI):** AI designed for specific tasks (e.g., voice assistants like Siri or Alexa).

2. **General AI (Strong AI):** AI with human-like reasoning that can perform various tasks (still theoretical).

3. **Super AI:** AI that surpasses human intelligence (hypothetical future AI).

Examples of AI Applications

• **Chatbots & Virtual Assistants:** Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa

• **Smart Home Devices:** AI-powered security cameras, smart thermostats

• **Self-Driving Cars:** Tesla’s Autopilot

• **Healthcare AI:** AI-assisted diagnosis (IBM Watson Health)

• **Finance & Banking:** Fraud detection, automated trading systems

2. Machine Learning (ML)

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI that allows systems to learn from data and improve their performance without explicit programming. ML models use statistical techniques to find patterns and make predictions.

Types of ML

1. **Supervised Learning:** The model is trained using labeled data (e.g., email spam classification).

2. **Unsupervised Learning:** The model identifies patterns in unlabeled data (e.g., customer segmentation).

3. **Reinforcement Learning:** The model learns by interacting with its environment (e.g., AI playing chess).

Examples of ML Applications

• **Recommendation Systems:** Netflix, YouTube, Amazon

• **Fraud Detection:** AI-powered banking security

• **Speech Recognition:** Google Speech-to-Text, Apple's Siri

• **Predictive Analytics:** Stock market predictions, weather forecasting

3. Deep Learning (DL)

Deep Learning (DL) is a specialized subset of ML that uses neural networks with multiple layers to process complex data. DL models require massive datasets and high computational power.

How Deep Learning Works

• **Artificial Neural Networks:** Mimic the structure of the human brain

• **Multiple Hidden Layers:** Process data hierarchically

• **Large-Scale Data Processing:** Requires powerful GPUs and big data

Examples of DL Applications

• **Self-Driving Cars:** Tesla, Waymo

• **Facial Recognition:** Apple's Face ID, Facebook’s DeepFace

• **Healthcare Diagnostics:** AI detecting cancer in medical imaging

• **Natural Language Processing (NLP):** ChatGPT, Google Translate

Conclusion

• **AI** is the broadest field, encompassing ML and DL.

• **ML** is a subset of AI that enables systems to learn from data.

• **DL** is a more advanced form of ML using deep neural networks.

While ML and DL are driving AI advancements, AI as a whole continues to evolve, shaping the future of technology.
