Artificial Intelligence has progressed far beyond its early rule-based origins. What once depended on predefined logic has evolved into systems that can learn from data, reason through problems, and even generate entirely new content. This transformation is largely driven by Machine Learning (ML), where algorithms improve their performance by identifying patterns in large datasets rather than following hard-coded instructions. Building on ML, Deep Learning
