The idea of machines that will be able to simulate human reasoning was first introduced by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dartmouth_workshop\">John McCarthy during the Dartmouth Conference in 1956.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Today, AI is implemented in different fields: it may be used in medicine, education, self-driving cars, and bank management to mention a few.<\/strong> AI leads to innovation and optimization of processes and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Machine Learning?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Machine learning (ML) is an idea that allows computer systems to carry out tasks that are not programmed<\/strong>, after learning and improving over time by reading the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ML replaces fixed, programmed procedures.<\/strong> ML searches big data, identifies patterns\/correlations and makes predictions\/decisions using the acquired <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/id\/blog\/difference-between-skill-and-knowledge\/#What_is_Knowledge\">knowledge<\/a>\r\n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An ML system is more effective with larger amounts of data.<strong> ML has many applications in natural language processing, computer vision, speech recognition, email filtering, agriculture and medicine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Unix\">Unix was not written till 1969 at Bell Labs by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie<\/a>, 17 years after Samuel had written his program.

Definition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI: It is the modeling of human intelligence in the machines that cause things which would be thought of by humans<\/strong>, such as <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/id\/blog\/importance-of-decision-making-skills\/#What_are_Decision_Making_Skills\">decision making<\/a>\r\n, problem solving, perception \/ natural language understanding etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ML: In a second field of AI, computers also learned the patterns of data and were able to predict or<strong> make decisions without having to be programmed to handle every case<\/strong>. And that is to leave machines to learn from experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Usage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI: <strong>Broad varieties of applications in which intelligent behavior must come to be automated: chatbots working with pre-written scripts, self-driving cars etc<\/strong>. It is applied anywhere the intelligence of human beings is simulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ML: Primarily applied to data analysis\/prediction &#8211; e.g. to recommend products on e-commerce websites or to detect fraud in the banking sector. <strong>It collaborates with AI systems though it learns big datasets.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Objective<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI:<strong> AI is trying to replicate or surpass human intellectual abilities <\/strong>in whatever they do in order to develop systems that can reason, adapt and behave under complicated circumstances. It equally aims at <strong>attaining general intelligence or skill in specific activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ML: ML aims to work out models based on the data input that will gradually reduce the error in forecasts and classifications.<strong> Pattern recognition and refinements are required instead of general intelligence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Approach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI: <strong>Rule-based programming, search algorithms, expert systems and symbolic reasoning. <\/strong>And it can be knowledge based (with pre-established rules) or data-based but tends to hard-coded logic to achieve certain results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ML: Statistical training of models. <strong>It relies on supervised learning on labeled data, unsupervised learning<\/strong> on concealed patterns and reinforcement learning on trials and errors on data as opposed to manual rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Data Dependency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI: <strong>It can be used to work with very little data in the event that we can have clear rules or logic<\/strong> as in the case of games such as chess that have fixed strategies. However, currently, we are witnessing the fact that modern AI is not necessarily data-driven.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ML: <strong>High user of large high quality sets of data to train. <\/strong>The absence of adequate data models fails to learn at all and hence data collection, cleaning, and preprocessing is a monumental problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Complexity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI: <strong>Artificial Intelligence is a more complex one due to the various subfields<\/strong>: robotics, NLP and computer vision. AI is fully automated, costly in terms of calculations and requires numerous technologies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ML: <strong>When big data is considered, hyperparameter tuning and scaling the models<\/strong>, the process of machine learning is more complex. Nonetheless, it is simpler on the specific issues, and more difficult on sophisticated deep <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/id\/blog\/learning-methods\/\">learning methods<\/a>\r\n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Types<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI: Generally divided into Narrow AI &#8211; task oriented such as voice assistants &#8211; <strong>General AI has humanoid flexibility yet <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/id\/blog\/practical-knowledge-vs-theoretical-knowledge\/#What_is_Theoretical_Knowledge\"><strong>theoretical knowledge<\/strong><\/a>\r\n &#8211; and Super AI. <\/strong>There are those that are reactive and have no memory or low memory and self-awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ML: They can be classified as <strong>Supervised Learning<\/strong>, predictive modelling with labelled data, <strong>Unsupervised learning<\/strong> including clustering and pattern discovery without labels, <strong>Semi-Supervised learning<\/strong> involving a combination of labelled\/unlabeled data as well as <strong>Reinforcement learning<\/strong>, reward-based Learning. <strong>Deep Learning neural networks and Ensemble Methods, which integrate models are considered subsets.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Output<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI: <strong>Generates outputs such as text, image or decision-making that can be likened to the human response\/actions.<\/strong> Deterministic (fixed rule) and probabilistic It is possible that in other systems the outputs are deterministic (fixed rules) or probabilistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ML: <strong>Makes predictions, classes or suggestions based on the trained models,<\/strong> and, in many cases, confidence scores. There are also improvements in outputs as we increase in the data but the uncertainties are possible when the model is applied in untrained situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI: <strong>It is applied in healthcare diagnostic programs, entertainment game NPCs, and automates\/improves finance algorithmic trading<\/strong> and transport autonomous vehicles. It is the foundation of intelligent ecosystems such as smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ML:<strong> ML is typically applied in data-oriented applications such as <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/id\/blog\/personalised-learning\/\"><strong>personalised learning<\/strong><\/a>\r\n recommendations, image recognition<\/strong>, such as face unlock on phones, predictive maintenance, manufacturing sensors and sentiment analysis of social media monitoring. It does the learning in most applications of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Examples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI: <strong>Virtually, assistants such as Siri and Alexa also respond to voice instructions. <\/strong>Or think of business automation systems and AI gaming such as AlphaGo that plays and competes with human beings in the strategic board game Go.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ML:<strong> Medical diagnosis and diseases that are detected in X-Ray imaging,<\/strong> such as pneumonia; spam filtering in email messages with help of user marking and diagnostic support in X-Ray imaging to detect pneumonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn about <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/id\/blog\/benefits-of-artificial-intelligence-in-education\/\">benefits of artificial intelligence in education<\/a>\r\n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI is a generational age of machines; machine learning is a section of AI<\/strong> which permits the machines to learn through information without being programmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI will be a general objective of intelligent systems. <strong>ML can be one such algorithm that will make predictions based on the patterns of information.<\/strong><br><strong>AI deals with intelligent behaviour in tasks, whereas ML deals with predicting and learning data-driven. <\/strong>Systems are becoming smarter, more adaptive and more autonomous with both technologies in the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/id\/blog\/what-is-education\/\">education<\/a>\r\n\/healthcare and finance\/entertainment.
