Harnessing the capabilities of artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and data science will be instrumental in the future; however, the average person likely only has a surface level understanding of how these four terms are related. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to clarify each of these terms utilizing Venn Diagrams. We will begin with artificial intelligence, which can be thought of as human intelligence exhibited by a machine.

Humans can only perform specific tasks after learning them, and we improve our execution of these tasks through practice. Artificial intelligence works the same way and we refer to this process as machine learning. In terms of a venn diagram, machine learning is a subset of AI: We teach a specific task to the machines, they learn it and improve their execution of it -ultimately faster than human capabilities- until the task becomes integrated into their overall intelligence. Let’s include Machine Learning into the picture.

Now we’ve understood AI and ML, what is deep learning? Before we get to that, it is important to note that reading and analyzing images is a…
