Show Notes
In 2026, the terms Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are thrown around interchangeably, but they aren’t the same thing. This episode dives deep into the fundamental hierarchy of these technologies, explaining why almost all modern AI is built on Machine Learning foundations, yet distinct categories like symbolic logic still thrive. We explore the history from Arthur Samuel to today, the mechanics of neural network weights, and why the industry has shifted from hard-coded rules to statistical prediction.
