Differences Between AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning Times Square Chronicles

The best way to think of these three terms is to think of concentric circles with artificial intelligence-- the concept that came first -- as the largest circle, with machine learning, which came next, in the middle circle and then deep learning in the center. Artificial intelligence, or AI, first got its start in 1956 when a group of scientists came up with the term at the Dartmouth Conferences. The researchers dreamed of a world where computers would have the same characteristics as human intelligence and think like we do. While we are not quite there yet, we do have a number of technologies that certainly do a decent job doing one specific task as well as, or better than, we can. Great examples are face recognition on Facebook, which will allow you back into your account if you are locked out, virtual personal assistants like Siri and websites that suggest items for you to buy, based on your past purchases.
