Artificial Intelligence (AI): Types of AI

What are the Different Types of AI?

The AI Family Tree

 

Family tree with Artificial Intelligence in the top center. With Data Science the branches lead to Planning, Speech and Vision, Natural Language Processing, and Expert Systems. AI combined with Machine Learning produces Predictive Analytics and Deep Learning. Machine Learning on its own branches down to Robotics and Reactive Machines.

The above diagram represents an "AI Family Tree," categorizing various fields within artificial intelligence. It is divided into three main branches:

  1. Data Science: Focuses on data reduction and planning.
  2. Artificial Intelligence: Encompasses various subfields, including:
    • Speech & Vision: Involves speech-to-text, image recognition, and computer vision.
    • Natural Language Processing (NLP): Covers text generation, question answering, classification, and knowledge bases.
  3. Machine Learning: Includes predictive analytics, deep learning, neural networks, robotics, and reactive machines.

Each branch highlights specific areas of study and application within the broader AI landscape.
