Description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) form the foundation of modern intelligent systems. AI focuses on creating machines that can think, reason, and solve problems, while ML enables systems to learn automatically from data and improve performance over time. Core foundations include algorithms, data representation, optimization methods, and evaluation techniques. In practical applications, AI and ML are used in healthcare diagnosis, financial forecasting, image recognition, recommendation systems, and autonomous vehicles. These technologies enhance decision-making, automate complex tasks, and uncover hidden patterns in large datasets. Together, AI and ML drive innovation and support smarter solutions across diverse industries.
