Imagine artificial intelligence (AI) as a super-smart robot that can do almost anything, like solve math problems, win chess games, and even tell jokes. But this robot didn’t just learn everything at once; it used machine learning, which is like having a teacher who helps the robot practice and improve over time.
How They Work Together
AI is the big picture, what the robot can do. Machine learning is how the robot learns to do those things, through lots of examples and practice.
Examples
- Your phone recognizes your voice because of machine learning, but it can understand complex sentences thanks to artificial intelligence.
- A robot that can play chess is an example of AI, and the way it learns new strategies over time is through machine learning.
- You teach a dog tricks using repetition, just like how machine learning teaches computers to get better with more examples.
