The world of AI and ML

Artificial intelligence (AI)

A humanoid robot analyzes data and solves problems.

  • Designed to mimic human thought processes
    • Learning, problem-solving, and decision-making

Machine Learning (ML)

An algorithm ingests data and learns to make predictions.

  • A key branch of AI
  • Machines learn from data to make decisions or predictions
  • Machines do not need to be explicitly programmed
Introduction to GCP

Data quality in ML

  • ML algorithms ingest and train on data
    • "Garbage in, garbage out"
  • High quality data:
    • Clean
    • Comprehensive
    • Relevant
    • Up-to-date

A large machine is being fed copious amounts of junk documents, and it releases garbage.
