15 GLOBAL INFLUENCERS IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING - Dataconomy

The line between the two terms AI and ML is blurring and they are used interchangeably today. It's hard for one to exist without the other in some cases, though the technical definition of the two is different. Machine Learning is more specific in nature and is a branch or subset of AI. Machine Learning is based on the idea that we can build machines to process data and learn on their own, without our constant supervision. On the other hand, professor John McCarthy defines Artificial Intelligence as the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable.
