What's the Difference Between Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, and Deep Learning?

It seems as if these three terms are appearing everywhere these days, from news stories to press releases and even TV shows and advertising. For many of us, when we hear artificial intelligence (or AI), we think of either Commander Data from Star Trek (the utopian version) or Cylons from Battlestar Galactica (the dystopian version). But what does AI really mean? And how is it different from machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL)? Here at Prowess, we've been taking on more and more projects that touch on these technologies. In this post, I'll pass on some of what we've learned about what the terms mean, how the technologies are changing our lives, and what hardware and software developments are enabling AI technologies to take off.
