What is machine learning:

Field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed -Arthur Samuel, IBM, 1959

Machine learning algorithms can figure out how to perform important tasks by generalizing from examples

Machine learning is fitting a function to examples and using that function to generalize and make the predictions about new examples

Deep Learning

Deep learning is fitting functions to examples where those functions are connected layers of nodes; with the intent to generalize and make predictions about new examples

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is a superset of machine learning and deep learning

Weak AI - intelligence specifically designed to focus on a narrow task

Strong/general AI - a machine with consciousness, sentience, and a mind; general intelligence capable of any and all cognitive function and reasoning that a human is capable of
