Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between AI and Machine Learning?
Machine Learning is a subset of AI. AI is the general concept, ML is the data-learning technique used to build most current AI systems.
Will AI replace humans?
AI automates tasks, not entire jobs. It augments professional productivity rather than replacing people. Jobs evolve, some tasks disappear, others emerge.
