This was intentional because most of the time when we see AI advertised to us through various products, this is what the underlying technology employed is—for the most part. It’s either a DL or an ML algorithm that’s powering the products we’ve discussed. But as you’ve seen in the previous chapters, AI is a great umbrella term that can actually mean more than just an ML or a DL model is being used.

There are a number of major domains in AI that don’t involve ML and DL. We’ve minimally touched on the other areas but haven’t given them their due in their impact and contributions to the AI landscape. Focusing only on ML and DL makes sense from a practical perspective to offer AI technologists, entrepreneurs, and PMs the best chance to pitch their AI products to investors and users, but it also leaves...
