Deep learning & Machine learning vs Artificial Intelligence: what’s the difference?

Artificial Intelligence(AI) is the broader technology that covers both Machine Learning and Deep Learning.

Machine Learning algorithms are an approach to implementing Artificial Intelligence systems and ai solutions.

Deep Learning is a more comprehensive approach to implement Machine Learning that works with the interconnection of neural networks rather than plain data.

Do you know why your business needs to implement Artificial Intelligence? 54% of business executives say that they already see a productivity increase with AI implementation.

Artificial Intelligence is the broader term that is used to talk about intelligent machines. Any system which has intelligence capabilities and imitates human behaviour comes under the horizon of AI.

Tom Mitchell, former chair of the machine learning company Department at Carnegie Mellon University, and E.Fredkin University Professor at the same said the following about Machine Learning - 

A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E. 

Machine Learning algorithms modify themselves based on data without any human experts. Once your business has enough data, you can feed it to the Machine Learning programs. Your future predictions will be in your hand within no time.

Here’s what machine learning has already achieved - Netflix saved nearly $1 billion in 2017 through Machine Learning by making a personalized recommendation engine. Now imagine how much it would have saved in 2020? You can also save massive costs through Machine Learning as well.

Deep Learning algorithms are highly advanced, and they involve much more computation complexity than Machine Learning programs. Here’s a good example by geeksforgeeks - 

Through a Machine Learning algorithm implemented in a flashlight(for the sake of understanding), the model will learn and train itself to switch on the flashlight whenever you say “dark”. 

However, a Deep Learning algorithm goes further beyond and develops connections based on neural networks. So when you say “I can’t see anything without a light”, the Deep Learning AI machines will make the connection and switch on the flashlight.
