Module 2 Assignment: Intelligent Systems

Question:
Can you explain the distinction between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML),
and provide at least two examples to illustrate their differences? Please base your examples on
your own ideas and opinions.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are often used interchangeably, but they
represent distinct concepts within the realm of technology and computer science.
AI refers to the broader field of creating intelligent systems that can mimic human intelligence to
perform tasks. This encompasses various techniques, including machine learning, natural
language processing, computer vision, and robotics. AI aims to develop systems that can reason,
learn, perceive, and interact like humans.
Machine Learning, on the other hand, is a subset of AI focused on developing algorithms that
enable computers to learn from data and improve their performance over time without being
explicitly programmed. ML algorithms use statistical techniques to identify patterns and make
predictions or decisions based on the input data. It's essentially teaching computers how to learn
from experience.
Here’s my idea that I would consider to be two examples that illustrates the difference between
AI and:
AI in Robotics:
Imagine a robot designed to assist in household chores. This robot needs to navigate through a
house, recognize objects, interact with humans, and perform tasks like cleaning or cooking. The
overarching system that integrates various components such as computer vision for object
recognition, natural language processing for understanding commands, motion planning for
navigation, and decision-making abilities to prioritize tasks would fall under the domain of AI.
Machine learning comes into play when the robot learns from its interactions with the
environment. For instance, it may use reinforcement learning algorithms to improve its
navigation skills by learning which paths are more efficient or which actions lead to better task
completion.
Machine Learning in Predictive Analytics:
Consider a company that wants to predict customer churn. They have a large dataset containing
historical customer data, including demographics, purchase history, and interactions with the
company. To build a model that can predict which customers are likely to churn in the future, the
company employs machine learning techniques. They might use algorithms like logistic
regression, decision trees, or neural networks to analyze the data, identify patterns indicative of
potential churn, and create a predictive model. Here, the focus is on leveraging machine learning
algorithms to extract insights from data and make predictions, rather than creating a fully
autonomous intelligent system like in the case of AI robotics.
In summary, while AI encompasses a broad spectrum of technologies aimed at creating
intelligent systems, machine learning specifically deals with algorithms and techniques that
enable computers to learn from data and improve their performance without explicit
programming. These examples demonstrate the nuanced differences between the two concepts
and how they are applied in real-world scenarios.
