Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that allows machines to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. It works by finding patterns in large amounts of data through either supervised learning, which uses labeled examples, or unsupervised learning, which finds hidden patterns in unlabeled data. The difference between AI and machine learning is that AI is the broader concept of machines being able to carry out intelligent tasks, while machine learning is a current application of AI that allows machines to learn from data on their own. As machine learning techniques like deep learning continue to advance, powered by growing computational capabilities, machines may one day achieve general human-level intelligence through continued learning.
