What Is AI?
Artificial Intelligence refers to systems designed to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence — reasoning, learning, problem-solving, and perception.
What Is Data Science?
Data Science is the discipline of extracting knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data using statistics, programming, and domain expertise.
Key Differences
- ✓Objective: AI aims to automate decisions; Data Science aims to extract insights
- ✓Methods: AI uses algorithms that learn autonomously; Data Science uses statistical analysis and modeling
- ✓Applications: AI powers chatbots, recommendation engines, and autonomous systems; Data Science powers reporting, forecasting, and strategic analysis
The most effective organizations integrate both — using data science to understand their data and AI to act on those insights at scale.
