A retail company's leadership team keeps mixing up AI terms in planning meetings. Which statement correctly describes how deep learning relates to the other terms?
Choose one answer.
- AA. Deep learning is a broader field than AI, and AI is one of its techniques.
- BB. Deep learning is a type of machine learning that uses layered neural networks.
- CC. Deep learning is a rule-based approach that needs no training data at all.
- DD. Deep learning is another name for generative AI and has no other uses.
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B
- A. Wrong: Reversed. AI is the umbrella term; machine learning sits inside it, and deep learning sits inside machine learning.
- B. Right: Correct. Deep learning is a specialised form of machine learning built on artificial neural networks with many layers.
- C. Wrong: Rule-based systems follow hand-written logic. Deep learning learns its behaviour from large amounts of training data.
- D. Wrong: Generative AI is built on deep learning, but deep learning also powers image classification, speech recognition and much more.
Explanation
AI is the broad goal of making machines perform tasks that normally need human intelligence. Machine learning is one way to achieve AI, by learning patterns from data. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses multi-layered neural networks, and generative AI is an advanced application of deep learning.
