THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,

MACHINE LEARNING AND DEEP LEARNING

Machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence all have relatively
specific meanings, but are often broadly used to refer to any sort of modern, big-
data related processing approach.
Artificial Intelligence is the general category, common to all three. In a diagram,
Artificial Intelligence would be the bigger, encapsulating circle that contains
Machine and Deep Learning. AI is basically any intelligence demonstrated by a
machine that leads it to an optimal or suboptimal solution given a problem.
We can define Artificial intelligence as the ability of a computer or machine to
mimic human capabilities (recognizing objects, understanding and responding to
language, making decisions, solving problems) without any human intervention.
The field of machine learning – originally, we can consider it as a subfield of AI –
was concerned with the development of algorithms so that computers can
automatically learn (predictive) models from data.
Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that learns from large
amounts of data and focuses on creating applications that improve efficiency and
accuracy over time without programming.
An algorithm in data science is a set of statistical processing steps. In machine
learning, algorithms are ‘trained’ to find features and patterns in large amounts of
data to make predictions based on new sets of data. Depending on how good the
algorithm is, the more data is processed, the more accurate the decisions and
predictions will be.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) started as a subfield of computer science with the focus
on solving tasks that humans can but computers can’t do (for instance, image
recognition). AI can be approached in many ways, for example, writing a
computer program that implements a set of rules devised by domain experts.
Now, hand-crafting rules can be very laborious and time consuming.
In short, machine learning (and deep learning) definitely helps to develop “AI,”
however, AI doesn’t necessarily have to be developed using machine learning –
although, machine learning makes “AI” much more convenient.

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning in which multilayered neural

networks modeled to function like the human brain ‘learn’ from huge amounts of
data.
The easiest way to clarify the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI),
machine learning, and deep learning is as follows:
 Artificial intelligence is a broad term and think of it as the entire universe of
computing technology that exhibits anything resembling human
intelligence.
 Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence application that learns
by itself applications and with the increasing amount of data available to it
to process, the accuracy of its results increases.
 Deep learning is a sub-branch of machine learning application that
performs a specific task on its own with increasing accuracy without human
intervention.
