AI is from Venus, Machine Learning is from Mars

The rise of cloud computing brings with it the promise of infinite computing power. The rise of Big Data brings with it the possibility of ingesting all the world's log files. The combination of the two has sparked widespread interest in data science as truly the "one ring to rule them all." When we speculate about such a future, we tend to use two phrases to describe this new kind of analytics--artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Most people use them interchangeably. AI develops conceptual models of the world that are underpinned by set theory and natural language.
