What Is Deep Learning and How Does it Relate to AI?

Google's AlphaGo made history in May 2017 when it defeated Ke Jie, the world's reigning champion of the ancient Chinese game Go. It was the first computer program to defeat a professional human Go player, much less a world champion. Later that year, Google introduced AlphaGo Zero, an even more powerful iteration of AlphaGo. Anyone wanting to understand the difference between artificial intelligence and deep learning can start by understanding the difference between AlphaGo and AlphaGo Zero. With AlphaGo, Google trained the original AlphaGo to play by teaching it to look at data from the top players, said Avi Reichental, CEO of XponentialWorks.
