Fundamental Series on Building Analytics: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, Deep Learning… What's the Difference? - CopperTree Analytics

It would be difficult nowadays not to come across a piece of news, article or posting related to Artificial Intelligence, or AI. Whether it is smart appliances and home automation systems with intelligent digital assistants, autonomous vehicles, advanced medical diagnostics, virtual reality, or even human-like automatons supplanting humans themselves – such as the recent news of the humanoid robot piloting a spacecraft and attempting to dock at the International Space Station – there seems to be no stopping AI. AI is not a new concept. In fact, it was coined over sixty years ago by John McCarthy during a conference with fellow scientists at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Yet AI, described as the ability for machines to simulate intellectual processes characteristic of humans, is an area of study that has existed long before its inception as an academic discipline.
