Introduction to AI & ML

Welcome! This presentation introduces the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

What is Artificial Intelligence?

  • The simulation of human intelligence in machines
  • Applications include problem-solving, speech recognition, and decision-making
  • Can be narrow (specific tasks) or general (broad tasks)

What is Machine Learning?

  • A subset of AI that enables systems to learn from data
  • Algorithms improve performance without being explicitly programmed
  • Includes supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning

Types of Machine Learning

  • Supervised Learning: labeled data training
  • Unsupervised Learning: discovering patterns in data
  • Reinforcement Learning: learning based on rewards

Popular AI & ML Tools

  • TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn
  • Cloud services: Azure, AWS, Google Cloud

Real-World Applications

  • Healthcare
  • Finance
  • Retail

Ethical Considerations

  • Bias in data
  • Transparency
  • AI fairness
