Artificial intelligence (AI) are computer systems capable of perfoming tasks and providing services/ goods to the public that have been done by humans. Machine Learning is related to Artificial intelligence, but is distinctly different.
To learn how these two fields are similar yet different, we may choose to write a compare/contrast research paper and use NexisUni to gather information about our topic.
To begin our research on AI and machine learning, let's search and evaluate a primary source to help support our paper's subtopic of AI accountability. To begin our search, we are using NexisUni to see if there is an Artificial Intelligence Accountability Act governing AI at the federal level.
