The Difference Between Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, or AI and ML for short respectively, are two terms which get thrown around quite often these days. Most people think that they share the same meaning, and while they are quite closely associated, one cannot be used instead of the other. Both of them crop up frequently when discussing analytics, data or any sort of technological change, so I think it's important we settle what they actually mean once and for all. In short, artificial intelligence is the general concept where machines are able to carry out tasks in a "smart" way. Or, at least, in a way which we would consider smart.
