What is AI, ML, DL and DS

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Programs with the ability to learn and reason like humans ~80%

Machine Learning (ML) ~80% of World’s

Algorithms with the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed Data generated in
last 10 Years

~80% of Resources
Deep Learning (DL) improvement in last
Subset of ML in which artificial neural networks adopt and 10 Years
learn from vast amount of data

Data Science (DS)

DS is a field of study which combines Statistics
and Math.
Data Science
Programming skills – Python / R integrates all the
And most importantly Domain expertise to extract above AI, ML & DL to
meaningful insights from data extracts insight from
data (EDA) and make
predictions from large
datasets (Predictive
Domain Programming
Statistics Analysis)
Knowledge Skills
