Know the difference.

AI vs Machine Learning

**AI** = Making computers smart **Machine Learning (ML)** = How AI learns from data

ML is a part of AI!

Simple Analogy

- **AI** = Entire car - **ML** = The engine that powers it

Example

**AI Application**: Email spam filter

**ML Part**: Learning which emails are spam by looking at thousands of examples

Real-World Example

Netflix using AI: - **AI Goal**: Recommend movies you'll like - **ML Method**: Learns from what you watched before

Deep Learning

Deep Learning is a special type of ML that uses neural networks (inspired by human brain).

**AI > Machine Learning > Deep Learning**

Remember

- ML is how AI learns - Deep Learning is advanced ML - All are related but different
