Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, and making decisions. Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI that involves training algorithms on large datasets to enable systems to learn from data, identify patterns, and improve their performance over time without being explicitly programmed. Essentially, while AI encompasses the broader goal of creating intelligent machines, ML focuses on the methods and techniques that allow these machines to learn and adapt.
