Understanding AI: Key AI Terms for Beginners

Here are some key terms that you will run across when learning about AI:

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are designed to think, learn, and solve problems like humans.
2. Machine Learning (ML): A subset of AI where algorithms learn from data and improve their performance over time without being explicitly programmed.
3. Deep Learning: A subset of machine learning that uses neural networks with many layers (hence “deep”) to analyze various levels of data abstractions.
4. Neural Network: A series of algorithms that attempt to recognize underlying relationships in a set of data through a process that mimics the way the human brain operates.
5. Model: In machine learning, a model is a mathematical representation of a real-world process. Models are trained on data to make predictions or decisions without human intervention.
