What is Data Science and Artificial Intelligence?

Data Science and Artificial Intelligence are two closely related fields that have gained significant prominence in recent years due to advancements in technology and the abundance of data. Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that combines various techniques, methodologies, and tools to extract insights and knowledge from structured and unstructured data.

The key components of data science include data cleaning, data preprocessing, data analysis, data visualization, and predictive modeling. Major aspects of Data Science include Data Collection, Data Cleaning and Preprocessing,  Machine Learning, etc.

Artificial Intelligence is a broader field that involves the development of intelligent systems that can mimic human intelligence and perform tasks that typically require human cognitive abilities. AI encompasses various subfields, including machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, robotics, expert systems, and more.

Data Science and AI often go hand in hand, as AI algorithms are commonly used in data science to build predictive models and make data-driven decisions. As these fields continue to evolve, they have a significant impact on industries, driving innovation and improving efficiency and decision-making processes.
