Chapter 6 — Chapter 6 — Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of machines to perform tasks that normally need human intelligence — understanding language, recognizing images, decision making (chatbots, Google Assistant, self-driving cars). Machine Learning (ML) is a part (subset) of AI where machines learn from data to make predictions or find patterns without being explicitly programmed for every case (YouTube video recommendations, spam filters). Difference: AI is the broad goal of smart machines; ML is one method of achieving AI by learning from data.
