AI vs Machine Learning: What's the Difference?

The terms are often used interchangeably. They are related, but not the same.

Artificial intelligence is the broad goal of building systems that perform tasks associated with human intelligence. Machine learning is one approach to achieving it — arguably the dominant one today.

A simple way to think about it

All machine learning is a form of AI, but not all AI is machine learning. Rule-based systems, search and planning algorithms are also part of AI.

Modern generative models are machine-learning systems trained at very large scale — which is why the two terms have converged in everyday use.
