Science and Technology question from JKAS Prelims, 2022 by JKPSC

With reference to Artificial Intelligence, consider the following statements:

1. Machine learning uses layered neural networks loosely modeled on the human brain.
2. Deep learning enables computers to recognize patterns and make decisions from large datasets without specific programming.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Correct Answer: Option D — Neither 1 nor 2
Statement 1 is Incorrect: The description of using "layered neural networks loosely modeled on the human brain" specifically refers to Deep Learning. While Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning, the use of multi-layered (deep) artificial neural networks is the defining characteristic of Deep Learning specifically.

Statement 2 is Incorrect: The description "enables computers to recognize patterns and make decisions from large datasets without specific programming" is the foundational definition of Machine Learning. Machine Learning is the broader field that encompasses various algorithms (like linear regression or decision trees) that learn from data, whereas Deep Learning is just one specific, complex method within that field.

Conclusion:
Both statements are defined incorrectly because the technical descriptions for Machine Learning and Deep Learning were interchanged.

The correct answer is D) Neither 1 nor 2.
