During the past few years, the terms artificial intelligence and machine learning have begun showing up frequently in technology news and websites. Often the two are used as synonyms, but many experts argue that they have subtle but real differences.
And of course, the experts sometimes disagree among themselves about what those differences are.
In general, however, two things seem clear: first, the term artificial intelligence (AI) is older than the term machine learning (ML), and second, most people consider machine learning to be a subset of artificial intelligence.
One of the best graphic representations of this relationship comes from Nvidia’s blog. It offers a good starting point for understanding the differences between artificial intelligence and machine learning.
