It is difficult for many to navigate the flow of information that is now "pouring" from everywhere about artificial intelligence. In order to immerse yourself in this area at least a little, it is necessary first of all to understand the basic concepts. For example, it is important to understand why artificial intelligence is not synonymous with neural networks and how they differ from each other.
Let's try to clarify this with a simple explanation and an example.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial intelligence is a smart system that can do various tasks that usually require human intelligence. For example, AI can recognize speech, translate texts, play chess, or recommend movies.
Example: Imagine a voice assistant like Siri or Google Assistant. He can understand your commands, answer questions, and complete tasks - all examples of artificial intelligence.
Neural network
A neural network is one of the technologies used to create artificial intelligence. This is something like a "smart brain" that studies information and learns from examples. Neural networks consist of "neurons" (similar to neurons in the human brain) that process data. Example: Let's look at how a neural network can recognize images of cats and dogs. We show the neural network thousands of photos of cats and dogs, and she learns to distinguish between them. After that, when we show her a new image, she will be able to tell if it is a cat or a dog based on what she has learned.
In general:
Artificial intelligence is a broad concept that encompasses many technologies and methods, including neural networks.
Neural network is a specific method or tool that helps to create AI.
Thus, AI is like a general term for "smart" machines, and the neural network is one of the ways in which we can create such "smart" machines.
Artificial intelligence is a general term that encompasses a variety of technologies, including neural networks. Neural networks, in turn, are one of the tools used to develop AI systems. It's like the difference between a tool and its field of application: AI is an area, and neural networks are one of the tools in this area.
Example:
If we take a neural network trained to recognize faces in photographs, this neural network will solve a specific task. If its results allow us to determine with high accuracy who is depicted in the photo, then we can say that this is part of an artificial intelligence system, since it performs a complex task that traditionally requires human intelligence.
Neural networks themselves are represented by a large number of models and their subspecies.
Here is the main list of the most popular in our time.
