Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are two closely related fields that deal with the development of algorithms and systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. While AI is a broad field encompassing various approaches, machine learning is a subset of AI that focuses on enabling computers to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed.

AI: Artificial intelligence refers to the development of intelligent systems that can perform tasks such as reasoning, problem-solving, perception, learning, and decision-making. AI systems can simulate human cognitive abilities and exhibit behavior that mimics human intelligence. They can process and analyze large amounts of data, make predictions, recognize patterns, understand natural language, and interact with humans.
