Types of Artificial Intelligence: A Detailed Guide

"Senator, we place ads," will probably be one of those phrases that will forever remain a part of our memory of 2018. Whatever your opinion on the Facebook discussion may be, none of us can deny that the social network has utilised the latest in Artificial Intelligence to aid the advertising efforts of its paying clients. Most of us are Senator Cornyn when it comes to understanding the differences between AI, ML and DL. He knew what Facebook was but didn't quite understand how it works. We talk about the social, moral and political issues surrounding Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning, but often it's not very clear what these terms mean, how they differ from one another and what might be everyday examples of each. These terms are often used interchangeably despite meaning somewhat different things. We can recognise AI and ML when we see it, for example in predictive texts that learn from our messages and add words to the phone dictionary.
