AI vs Algorithms

There is a distinct difference between AI and an algorithm. Somehow I feel we’re missing this in the way it’s fashionable to suddenly claim everything is ‘driven by AI’.

An algorithm is a set of instructions that tells a computer what to do. It can be as simple as adding two numbers together or as complex as solving a difficult mathematical problem. An AI is a computer system that can learn and make decisions independently. It can do this by analyzing data and recognizing patterns or by using algorithms to make decisions.
