Innovative Solutions for the Evolving AI/ML

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are closely related fields of computer science that revolutionize how we interact with technology.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broader concept that refers to the development of intelligent agents, which are systems that can reason, learn, and make decisions. AI aims to mimic human intelligence and behavior, enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI focusing on algorithms that allow computers to learn from data without explicit programming. ML algorithms can identify patterns in data and make predictions or decisions based on those patterns.
