Few thoughts on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Lately, machine learning, deep learning and other concepts which relate to data being used in order to adapt itself automatically have been very popular. Although this is pretty cool to be able to make an algorithm adapt itself automatically and this can be practical in some situations when humans do not have the capability to created the statistical models to use in order to analyse the available data, this is a mistake to think that this will replace every other data analysis techniques anytime soon because of some critical points. First, what are Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning? I guess that I have already scared people less familiar with data science techniques. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a set of rules that can be applied to a large set of data, it can be very advanced such as an autonomous car, which could decide to break or accelerate based on real time feedback from thousand of variables.
