Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Definition: AI is the broadest concept that involves creating machines or systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks include reasoning, learning, problem-solving, perception, and understanding natural language.

Examples:

• Virtual personal assistants like Siri or Alexa.
• Autonomous vehicles.
• Recommendation systems.

Machine Learning (ML)

Definition: ML is a subset of AI that involves the development of algorithms that allow computers to learn from and make predictions or decisions based on data. Instead of being explicitly programmed to perform a task, ML models improve their performance through experience (data).

Examples:

• Email spam filters.
• Customer churn prediction.
• Market basket analysis.

Deep Learning (DL)

Definition: DL is a subset of ML that involves neural networks with many layers (deep neural networks). It aims to model complex patterns in data using multiple layers of abstraction.

Examples:

• Image recognition systems (e.g., facial recognition).
• Voice assistants (e.g., Google Assistant, Siri).
• Language translation services.

1. Chatbots for 24/7 Customer Support

AI-powered chatbots are capable of providing round-the-clock customer support. These virtual assistants can handle a variety of tasks, from answering simple queries to managing complex customer interactions.

Examples:

• H&M uses a chatbot on their website to help customers find products, check order statuses, and answer FAQs.
• Sephora offers a chatbot that provides beauty tips, product recommendations, and booking for in-store makeup tutorials.

2. AI-Driven Personalized Recommendations

AI algorithms analyze customer data to provide personalized product recommendations. These recommendations are based on previous purchases, browsing history, and even real-time behavior on the website.

Examples:

• Amazon employs sophisticated recommendation engines to suggest products to customers based on their past behavior and similar user profiles.
• Netflix uses AI to recommend movies and TV shows, which keeps users engaged and more likely to remain subscribers.
