What is deep learning? Deep learning is machine learning on steroids: it uses a technique that gives machines an enhanced ability to find—and amplify—even the smallest patterns.

Machine learning models—especially large-scale ones like GPT, BERT, or DALL·E—are trained using enormous volumes of data.

As it currently stands, the vast majority of the AI advancements and applications you hear about refer to a category of algorithms known as machine learning (see "What is machine learning?").
