You could say it's a little like AI. A neural network is a system of neurons hooked to each other. The best example? A human brain. An artificial neural network is a model of a neural network typically used in math or computer science. It is most commonly thought of as a method of computing, one that we do not yet fully understand. You can apply it to lots of stuff, but it is best suited to a situation where it will be searching for patterns(like finding patterns in the stock market) or actually learning by creating rules for decision making(like a scalable AI).
