These days , every now then you may get to hear the heavy buzzwords like Data Science , Machine Learning , Artificial Intelligence etc , but have you ever noticed that people these days often use these terminologies in parallel with each other ; which is not only making these fields quite confusing to explore and understand but also increasing the wrong perception among us that all these terminologies are quite the same .

Broadly speaking , Artificial Intelligence is the major subset under which comes the fields of machine learning , data science etc. as all the sub fields are in a way or the other is using or building the intelligence of the machines which are artificially controlled . Artificial Intelligence covers a lot of topic , algorithms which are mainly focused on making perfect use of intelligence of the artificial brains of today i.e. “Machines” . Under the large subset of AI comes Machine Learning ; under which we train a machine to learn and perceive things as we do in the case of a small child !!

The World Of Endless Opportunities !!

And above all comes , Data Science that combines the algorithms of AI , ML to clean the data , analyze the data and generate useful insights from that data which can be expressed to general public and machines in a manner that its easy to perceive and work upon. So , the data analyzed in data science plays an important role in the way the fields of AI , ML functions as the clean data is the raw material for the proper functioning of the fields now turned buzzwords .

This is a minute explanation in the vast field of data science and I am more likely to expand your knowledge in the field of Data Science , Artificial Intelligence , Machine Learning etc. through my upcoming blogs !!
