What is Artificial Intelligence?


The theory and development of computer systems to perform tasks normally requiring human
intelligence, such as making intelligent decisions, reasoning and problem solving.
e.g. visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.

… and machine learning?


The development of computer programs that can teach themselves to grow and change when
exposed to new data.

KEY TERMS
ALGORITHM – A formula or set of rules that tells a machine how to solve a problem or perform a task.
ANALOGICAL REASONING – Solving problems by comparing to past experiences.
ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS – Advanced learning models based on the biological neural networks of animals,
which can perform more difficult tasks than traditional methods of programming.
AUTONOMOUS – Can act independently and doesn’t require input from a human to function properly.
DATA MINING – Process by which patterns are discovered in large sets of data to extract useful information.
HEURISTIC SEARCH TECHNIQUES – Narrows down search for solution by eliminating incorrect options.
MACHINE LEARNING – Getting machines to act without being programmed to do so (change when exposed to new data)
