🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

• Artificial Intelligence (AI): The simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems, enabling them to perform tasks that typically require human cognition such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.

• Machine Learning (ML): A subset of AI that involves algorithms allowing computers to learn from and make decisions based on data without being explicitly programmed.

• Deep Learning: A specialized form of ML that uses neural networks with multiple layers to model complex patterns in large datasets, often used in image and speech recognition.

• Neural Networks: Computing systems inspired by the human brain's interconnected neuron structure, used in deep learning to recognize patterns and solve complex problems.

• Supervised Learning: A type of ML where models are trained on labeled data, meaning each input has a corresponding correct output.

• Unsupervised Learning: ML approach where models find patterns or groupings in unlabeled data without predefined labels.

📝 Essential Points

• AI aims to replicate or simulate human intelligence to automate tasks, improve efficiency, and solve complex problems.
