Diagram Description and Text

The largest circle is labeled Artificial Intelligence: The theory and methods to build machines that think and act like humans.

A small circle overlaps with only the Artificial Intelligence labeled Expert System Al: Programmers teach Al exactly how to solve specific problems by providing precise instructions and steps.

A large circle completely within Artificial Intelligence is labeled Machine Learning: The ability for computers to learn from experience or data without human programming.

A medium completely within Machine Learning is labeled Deep Learning: Mimics the human brain using artificial neural networks such as transformers to allow computers to perform complex tasks.

A small circle completely within Deep Learning is labeled Generative Al: Generates new text, audio, images, video or code based on content it has been pre-trained on. Examples given are ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Bard.
