Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science focused on creating systems or machines that can simulate human intelligence. These systems can perform tasks such as reasoning, learning, decision-making, and problem-solving. AI is used in various applications like virtual assistants, robotics, recommendation systems, and autonomous vehicles.

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI that enables systems to learn from data and improve their performance over time without being explicitly programmed. ML algorithms identify patterns in data and make predictions or decisions based on it. There are different types of learning in ML, such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning.

Together, AI and ML power smart technologies like facial recognition, fraud detection, language translation, and more. They are transforming industries by automating processes, enhancing decision-making, and enabling personalized experiences.
