The document explains the distinction between artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL), emphasizing that AI aims to replicate human cognitive functions, while ML utilizes algorithms to analyze data. Deep learning is a subset of ML that employs multi-layered neural networks to handle complex data and automate feature extraction. It discusses various neural network architectures, including convolutional and recurrent networks, and their applications across industries like customer service and automotive technology.
