Among these are machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing and generative AI. The AI Triad is a useful paradigm for understanding and visualizing artificial intelligence in general. Simply put, artificial intelligence is machine learning systems using computer power to execute algorithms that learn from data to use perception, reasoning, learning and creativity to help solve problems.
