What's what: Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are terms being used in various industries to explain their latest foray into next-generation technology. Add deep learning (DL) to the mix and things start to get really confusing. While AI and ML can be used interchangeably in many contexts, there are some serious differences between them. For businesses looking to embark on exploring new AI solutions, distinguishing one from the other is critical to identifying which your business needs and what can help it the most. Everything from Apple's Siri voice assistant to self-driving cars falls under AI.
