The differences between AI, ML & DL


Can you differentiate between artificial intelligence (AI) vs machine learning
(ML) vs deep learning (DL)? Here is an image that attempts to visualize the
distinction between them:

As you can see on the above image of three concentric circles, DL is a subset of
ML, which is also a subset of AI. AI is the all-encompassing concept that started it
all, then followed by ML that came later, and lastly DL that is now advancing AI to
another level. Let’s dig deeper so that you can understand which is better for your
specific use case: artificial intelligence, machine learning, or deep learning.

What is artificial intelligence AI?


 Artificial intelligence is intelligent behaviour by machines which can mimic cognitive human functions, in
short, its machines incorporating human intelligence. Whenever a machine completes tasks based on a
set of stipulated rules that solve problems (algorithms), such an “intelligent” behaviour is what is called
artificial intelligence. For example, machines that can move and manipulate objects, recognize whether
someone has raised the hands, or solve other problems. AI-powered machines are usually classified into
two groups:
o General - the general intelligence AI machines can intelligently solve problems, like the ones
mentioned above.
o Narrow – the narrow intelligence AI machines can perform specific tasks very well, sometimes
better than humans — though they are limited in scope. The technology used for classifying
images on Pinterest is an example of narrow AI.
What is Machine Learning ML?
 Machine learning is about empowering computer systems with the ability to “learn”. The intention of
ML is to enable machines to learn by themselves by providing data to make accurate predictions. ML
is a subset of artificial intelligence; it’s simply a technique for realizing AI. It’s a method of training
algorithms such that they can learn how to make decisions. Training in machine learning is about giving
a lot of data to the algorithm and allowing it to learn more about the processed information.
 For example, here is a table that identifies the type of fruit based on its characteristics:

 As you can see on the table above, the fruits are differentiated based on their weight and texture.
However, the last row gives only the weight and texture, without the type of fruit. A machine learning
algorithm can be developed to try to identify whether the fruit is an orange or an apple. After the
algorithm is fed with the training data, it will learn the differing characteristics between an orange and
an apple. Therefore, if provided with data of weight and texture, it can predict accurately the type of
fruit with those characteristics.

What is deep learning DL?


 Deep learning is a subset of ML, it’s simply a technique for realizing machine learning. In other words,
DL is the next evolution of machine learning. DL algorithms are inspired by the information processing
patterns found in the human brain.
 Just like we use our brains to identify patterns and classify various types of information, deep learning
algorithms can be taught to accomplish the same tasks for machines. The brain usually tries to decipher
the information it receives. It achieves this through labelling and assigning the items into various
categories. Whenever we receive a new information, the brain tries to compare it to a known item
before making sense of it — which is the same concept deep learning algorithms employ.
 For example, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are a type of algorithms that aim to imitate the way our
brains make decisions. Comparing deep learning vs machine learning can assist you to understand their
subtle differences.
 For example, while DL can automatically discover the features to be used for classification, ML
requires these features to be provided manually. Furthermore, in contrast to ML, DL needs high-end
machines and considerably big amounts of training data to deliver accurate results.

In summary
Do you now understand the difference between AI vs ML vs DL? Do you know how
to apply it now in your discussions?
