Artificial Intelligence: How to Work Smarter, Not Harder

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are often used interchangeably, but they are different. In the simplest explanation, AI is the field of computer science that studies how to make computers good at tasks that are typically done by human beings. ML is a subfield of AI devoted to creating programs that improve performance the more data you have. Both terms are used in speaking about "big data"--analytics and enabling IoT (Internet of Things) in a broader context. The entry of faster computers, IoT, "connected consumers" and the more common business approaches to the use of AI have brought this innovative technology to the forefront.
