### DISCUSSION Is It AI
## Summary

The definition of artificial intelligence (AI) has shifted over time. We use the three part framework of data, algorithms, and interfaces to describe AI applications. You will need to consider specific technologies and whether they meet the criteria for being classified as AI using this framework. Adaptability and training with new data are key factors to keep in mind as we move further in the course.
