The primary difference between artificial intelligence and predictive analytics is that AI is automated from end to end and requires zero manual input. The advantage of using artificial intelligence is that variables and algorithms are constantly evolving compared to being limited to a specific model in predictive analytics. AI is always learning, whether you’re there to teach it or not. When thinking about predictive analytics, consider it a foundational stepping stone in advancing towards AI, similar to how descriptive analytics paves the way for predictive analytics.
