As artificial intelligence becomes less of an ambiguous marketing buzzword and more of a precise ideology, it's increasingly becoming a challenge to understand all of the AI terms out there. So to kick off the brand new AI Zone, the Editorial Team here at DZone got together to define some of the biggest terms in the world of artificial intelligence for you. Algorithms: A set of rules or instructions given to an AI, neural network, or other machines to help it learn on its own; classification, clustering, recommendation, and regression are four of the most popular types. Artificial intelligence: A machine's ability to make decisions and perform tasks that simulate human intelligence and behavior. Artificial neural network (ANN): A learning model created to act like a human brain that solves tasks that are too difficult for traditional computer systems to solve.
