What used to be just a pipe dream in the realms of science fiction, artificial intelligence (AI) is now mainstream technology in our everyday lives with applications in image and voice recognition, language translations, chatbots, and predictive data analysis. In this article, we’ll introduce AI along with its related terms machine learning and deep learning. By the end of the article you should understand these terms, how things generally work and be more familiar with terms like Inception and YOLO (and no, we’re not talking about the Leonardo DiCaprio movie or some internet meme). Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence by computers. Machine learning is a branch of AI where algorithms are used to learn from data to make future decisions or predictions. Deep learning is a specific subset of machine learning using artificial neural networks (ANN) which are layered structures inspired by the human brain. The following diagram shows more clearly
