The easiest way to think of their relationship is to visualize them as concentric circles with AI - the idea that came first - the largest, then machine learning - which blossomed later, and finally deep learning - which is driving today’s AI explosion - fitting inside both. And all three are part of the reason why AlphaGo trounced Lee Se-Dol.
All those statements are true, it just depends on what flavor of AI you are referring to.įor example, when Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo program defeated South Korean Master Lee Se-dol in the board game Go earlier this year, the terms AI, machine learning, and deep learning were used in the media to describe how DeepMind won. Artificial intelligence is already part of our everyday lives. Artificial intelligence is science fiction. This is the first of a multi-part series explaining the fundamentals of deep learning by long-time tech journalist Michael Copeland.Īrtificial intelligence is the future.
