Everything you need to know about Artificial Intelligence

Machine Learning (ML) focuses on the development of programs that can learn and change on their own when exposed to new data without needing to be explicitly programmed to do so. Deep learning (DL) is a subset of ML and, thanks to advances in computing power, has spurred huge developments in speech and image recognition. An article in MIT Technology Review explained DL this way, "Deep learning software attempts to mimic the activity in layers of neurons in the neocortex, the wrinkly 80 percent of the brain where thinking occurs. The software learns, in a very real sense, to recognize patterns in digital representations of sounds, images, and other data." DL's secret sauce is simple and very natural for humans, it learns by examples.
