A Snapshot of AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning

Machine Learning

Real-world examples, prominent use cases, and AI’s (artificial intelligence) potential

The industrialized world is full of machines that outdo humans in strength and speed. Cranes lift steel beams to towering heights, car engines send passengers flying down the road at impossible speeds, and tree shredders pulverize entire pine trunks in a snap. Such inventions replicate and vastly outperform humans at tasks requiring physical exertion. They possess “artificial brawn”.

What then is artificial intelligence?

At a first pass, we can think of AI as a machine (i.e., a computer) replicating human cognitive tasks. A calculator, for example, embodies basic AI to do a job for which humans must use their brains: math. While definitions of “artificial intelligence” abound, Peter Norvig and Stuart Russell, forefathers of the discipline, explain it well when talking about “rational agents”. A rational agent, they say, “acts so as to achieve the best outcome or, when there is uncertainty, the best expected outcome”. Most explorations into AI fit the “rational agent” description in some way. An exemplary case of AI application in developing rational agents is in the realm of face recognition software, where training data plays a critical role. For insight on how training data influences the effectiveness of such technology, you might find this case study on training data for face recognition software highly informative.
