Artificial Intelligence — CBSE Class 10 board question

Differentiation:

| Basis | Artificial Intelligence (AI) | Machine Learning (ML) | Deep Learning (DL) |
|-------|-----------------------------|-----------------------|--------------------|
| Definition | Technique that enables computers to mimic human intelligence | Enables machines to improve at tasks with experience | Enables software to train itself using vast amounts of data |
| Scope | Broadest – umbrella term | Subset of AI | Subset of ML |
| Data needed | Works on algorithms and data fed to it | Learns from new data in each iteration | Requires huge/vast amounts of data |
| Algorithm | Predefined | Machine learns its own rules | Uses multiple ML algorithms (e.g., ANN) |

Venn Diagram:

• AI is the outermost/umbrella concept.
• ML is a subset of AI.
• DL is a subset of ML (uses multiple ML algorithms working together).

• Examiners expect a clear table for differentiation (3 rows of differences = ~2 marks) and a labelled nested Venn diagram (~2 marks). Both parts are compulsory.
• Key phrase to remember: AI ⊃ ML ⊃ DL (nested/funnel relationship).
• The diagram must be labelled with all three terms clearly shown as concentric/nested shapes — marks are awarded for labels.
• Do not mix up DL and ML definitions: DL uses vast data + multiple ML algorithms, while ML learns from experience/feedback.
