The Distinction Between ML and AI
There is not much distinction between machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in practice. ML focuses on learning from past experiences and making predictions on future data, while AI traditionally involved hand-coding logical rules for machines to make intelligent decisions. However, modern AI tools heavily rely on ML techniques, and the terms ML and AI are often used interchangeably.
