How to explain deep learning in plain English

Compounding this issue, some AI terms overlap. Being able to define key concepts clearly – and subsequently understand the relationships and differences between them – is foundational to your crafting a solid AI strategy. Plus, if the IT leaders in your organization can't articulate terms like deep learning, how can they be expected to explain it (and other concepts) to the rest of the company? Deep learning is a particularly good example in this regard: It's related to – but not interchangeable with – the broader category of machine learning. This exacerbates the possibility for misnomers and misunderstandings.
