Making the AI journey from theory to practice

Artificial intelligence needs no introduction, although it might need a definition. Amazon is as good a place as any to start. It defines AI as "the field of computer science dedicated to solving cognitive problems commonly associated with human intelligence, such as learning, problem solving, and pattern recognition." Amazon's definition also categorises machine learning and deep learning as "derived from the discipline of AI" which synchs nicely with IBM's framing of AI as the "general concept that machines can be'taught' to mimic human decision-making". Other subsets of AI include logic, natural language processing and robotics.
