Explainer: Modern AI Is a Stack of Technologies

Original: 🤖 Artificial intelligence is not one machine or one algorithm. Modern AI is a stack: machine learning, neural networks,

A science explainer argues that artificial intelligence should be understood not as a single machine or algorithm but as a layered stack: machine learning, neural networks, Transformers, generative models, reasoning systems, and agents that can use tools and take actions. The piece aims to clarify how these components combine into the AI systems now in everyday use.

Why now: Public confusion about what AI actually is keeps explanatory pieces like this circulating widely.
