AI allows machines to learn from past experiences, and lets machines perform tasks that are associated with human cognitive functions such as visual recognition, speech recognition, emotion perception and many others. As you may expect, the technology behind AI is complex- and involves several fields such as computer science, mathematics and neuroscience. Some terms commonly associated with AI are machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL). While there is obviously a connection between these three, they are fun
