Ask not what you can do for machine learning… – Inside Machine learning – Medium

There is a great read by Ed Newton-Rex that outlines the differences between Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in simple terms. The recent article from Frank Chen on the expected use of artificial intelligence in startups highlights an upcoming shift in the industry. He compares, and rightfully so, the pervasiveness of AI to other game changers in the industry such as having a relational database in 1980 or rich Windows client in 1987 and so on. AI is nothing new in computer science -- modern AI research was born in 1956 at a Dartmouth workshop (coincidentally included two, now-famous, Carnegie Mellon professors with a building named after them -- Allen Newell and Herbert Simon). Even though we're still some ways away from building our one true AI overlord aka Skynet, over the past two decades we have seen significant advances in the field of machine learning (ML).
