AI projects

I am little confused about AI. How is it different from ML? ML uses dataset to train, and then predicts something and AI also makes decision based on previous data, right?

Also, I have to make a AI project for university course. Can someone point me to few of them. I read some, but they are are like spam classifier etc. which I believe are ML projects? Also I had some ideas in mind. Can there be an AI, which takes a picture of user and puts them in fictional scene, or changes their clothes to a fictional character. or say alters features on face(like add makeup [1] or change hairstyle). Which libraries to use for it. I know basic of coding, but no idea about AI

Also, nice change in UI while asking question -- 2409:4072:98:565D:BD6B:BD8F:134E:5E66 (talk) 17:37, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

ML is one of several techniques used to create AI software; see our articles on machine learning and artificial intelligence. AI software may involve a range of methods, such as planning and optimization. Snapchat lenses are like your idea. To get an impression of what is graphically possible with AI, check out these videos: [2], [3], [4] (the last one only the first 26 seconds).  --Lambiam 03:21, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Installing Windows 10 after DBAN

Let's say I want to rewrite over my computer hard drive (HDD). If I used DBAN on a USB stick to wipe my PC hard drive for a few passes & then had a copy of Windows 10 on a different thumb drive could I reboot Windows 10 on the hard drive on which DBAN was previously used using the Windows 10 on the different thumb drive? Or does DBAN completely trash the PC's hard drive? Therapyisgood (talk) 22:04, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Follow up: Do I have to have DBAN on a different thumb drive than Windows 10 or can I have them both on the same thumb drive? Therapyisgood (talk) 22:12, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

DBAN destroys data, but it should not render the HDD unusable. As long as the HDD is in physical/logical good shape, you should be able to repartition and reformat it through the Windows 10 installation process (or any other OS.) I would discourage you from attempting to combine DBAN with something else on a USB stick. I always marked my copies in red ink, "THIS SOFTWARE DESTROYS DATA!" You wouldn't want an innocent party to try and run benign software, accidentally triggering DBAN instead. Elizium23 (talk) 19:16, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
