ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think, reason, learn, and make decisions like humans. It encompasses a wide range of techniques, technologies, and approaches aimed at enabling computers and systems to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing patterns in data, solving complex problems, and making informed decisions.

Artificial intelligence represents a paradigm shift in our relationship with technology, blurring the boundaries between the capabilities of humans and machines. By simulating and augmenting human intelligence, AI holds the promise of revolutionizing industries, transforming society, and unlocking new frontiers of innovation and discovery.
Machine Learning
Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that focuses on developing algorithms and models that enable computers to learn and make predictions or decisions from data without being explicitly programmed. In essence, it's about creating systems that can automatically identify patterns, extract insights, and improve their performance through experience. Supervised learning, unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning are the main subsets of Machine learning.
