Difference Between Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
ML is machine learning, where learning is defined as gaining knowledge or skills through experience, study or teaching. Let me explain the difference with a simple examples: We want to create artificial ants that can crawl into two dimensional space. However, there are dangers in this world: if an ant encounters a poisonous area, it dies. If there is no venom in the proximity of the ant, the ant lives. Ants can be taught how to avoid toxic areas so that these ants can live as long as they want. Let’s give our ants a simple set of instructions they can follow; They can move freely in a two-dimensional space at a time. Our first attempt was to allow ants to crawl around by making random instructions. Then we adjust these ants and let them crawl around the world again. We will repeat this until the ants have successfully prevented the poisonous parts of the world. This is a comprehensive machine learning way to approach the problem. We use some arbitrary rule to fit the ants into the configuration. This works because in each iteration we cut off a set of inadequate ants. In the end, we are being pushed towards the more fit ants. If we change the location of the toxic areas, what do you think will happen? Ants are in serious crisis because they cannot survive in the world — they https://medium.com/@usmsystems23/difference-between-artificial-intelligence-and-machine-learning-5a42c69642fd

do not know where the poisonous areas are and therefore cannot avoid them. But why is this happening, and what can we do? Can the ants somehow find out where those areas are and adapt their behavior to make them more successful? This is where Artificial Intelligence comes into play. We need a way to give this information to the ants, to educate them about the environment. Our ants need a way to perceive the world. Until then, they are living in utter darkness, with no way to comprehend the world around them. For example, we can allow the ants to leave a small trail that other ants can grasp. Then we can make ants to follow this trail and if they can’t grasp a trail, they will randomly crawl around. Now, if there are multiple ants, most of them will touch the toxic areas and die. But there are also dead ants and so crawling into places that are not poisonous — they leave a trail! Other ants can follow the trail blindly and always know that they can survive. It works because ants can receive some information about their surroundings. Not only do they not absorb toxic areas (they don’t even know what the poison is), but they can avoid them in a completely new environment without special practice. These two approaches are very different. The machine learning path is trying to find a pattern that ants can follow and succeed. But it does not change the ants to make local decisions. https://medium.com/@usmsystems23/difference-between-artificial-intelligence-and-machine-learning-5a42c69642fd

Difference Between Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
The way to artificial intelligence is to allow ants to make local decisions. In nature, we can find many similarities to this kind of artificial intelligence way of solving problems. Another Example, Step 1 Consider a newborn baby who knows nothing about the world. So parents teach the baby how to say Papa, Mamma and Wave Hands, and they try to do the same when we do something. Step 2, sometime later, in this case, even if you don’t teach them a few years later, they will automatically learn new things based on the instructions you gave them. So Here Newborn baby — robot or computer Parents — scientist or researcher Step 1 — Machine learning is part of teaching a computer how to identify a new paradigm and say something in specific input. https://medium.com/@usmsystems23/difference-between-artificial-intelligence-and-machine-learning-5a42c69642fd

Step 2 — AI is part of the process by which the computer can interpret our given instruction and process in their own way. Conclusion: Machine learning is one of the main approaches towards Artificial Intelligence, but not the same way as in the case of infants. This is just an overview, you can refer to the endless articles and books you find on the internet for more understanding.
