Question

A junior analyst on your team is confused about terminology after a project kickoff. The team is building a system that automatically classifies medical images using a multi-layer neural network that learns features directly from raw pixel data without manual feature engineering. The analyst asks how this technique relates to the broader fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Which statement correctly describes the relationship?

Accepted Answer

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning, which is itself a subset of artificial intelligence.

Answer

Machine learning is a subset of deep learning, which is a broader field than artificial intelligence.

Answer

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning are three independent fields with no overlap.

Answer

Artificial intelligence is a subset of deep learning that only applies to neural networks with many layers.
