Why does it matter? Because the <strong>way a model is trained<\/strong> impacts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What kind of data you need<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How expensive it is to build or adapt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What kind of problems it can solve<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How you integrate it into your product<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you\u2019re leading product or engineering, understanding this difference is critical to setting the right expectations with your teams and stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Traditional AI: Supervised, Structured, and Specific<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The training process in <strong>traditional AI<\/strong> is generally straightforward:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You collect structured data<\/strong> (like rows in a spreadsheet).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You label that data<\/strong> \u2014 e.g., \u201cspam\u201d vs. \u201cnot spam\u201d, or \u201chigh risk\u201d vs. \u201clow risk\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You train a model<\/strong> (e.g., a decision tree, SVM, or logistic regression) to learn from those labels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The model outputs a <strong>predictive function<\/strong> you can apply to future data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This is called <strong>supervised learning<\/strong>, and it\u2019s the foundation of most traditional ML use cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd01 <strong>The cycle<\/strong> looks like this: Data \u2192 Labels \u2192 Train \u2192 Predict \u2192 Evaluate \u2192 Improve<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 A few characteristics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Models are trained for <strong>one specific task<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They\u2019re relatively <strong>lightweight<\/strong> in terms of compute<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You need <strong>domain-relevant labeled data<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accuracy and performance are <strong>tightly scoped<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udee0 <strong>Example<\/strong>: You want to predict customer churn.
