Artificial Intelligence - The New Electricity

Image
The idea that "Artificial Intelligence is the new electricity" is a metaphor that has gained popularity in recent years. The metaphor was first introduced by Andrew Ng, founder of deeplearning.ai and co-founder of Coursera , and it suggests that AI has the potential to be as transformative to society as electricity was in the 19th and 20th centuries. To understand why AI is being compared to electricity, it is important to first consider the impact that electricity had on society. Prior to the widespread use of electricity in the 19th and 20th centuries, many industries and aspects of daily life were powered by manual labor or steam power. Electricity enabled new inventions like the light bulb, the telephone, and the electric motor, which transformed many industries and led to significant improvements in quality of life. Similarly, AI has the potential to transform many industries and aspects of daily life. For example, AI can enable new inventions like self-driving cars,

Machine Learning - The Subset of AI

You often heard the term Machine Learning. Today, we are trying to answer a few questions that arise in your mind. What is Machine Learning? What discipline of science does it belong to? What connection does Machine Learning (ML) have with Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Are ML and AI the same concepts and can be used interchangeably? What strong capabilities does ML have that make it the most exciting and dominant discipline? What are the types and applications of ML?  Let’s try to understand the underlying concepts by starting from AI.  Artificial Intelligence (AI) Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer science that deals with building machines and robotic systems to perform complex tasks requiring human intelligence. Put it simply, AI is the phenomenon of creating machines that are intelligent. Human Intelligence is the mental capacity to learn from the past, understand and react to complex or evolving situations, and adapt to new environments or conditions. So, AI
