Machine learning is undergoing a revolution because of new technologies and methods. Machine learning is a process of using a program to develop capabilities—like the ability to tell spam from desirable email—by analyzing data instead of programming the exact steps, freeing the user from needing to make every decision about how the algorithm functions. Machine learning is a powerful tool, not only because over a million people focus on tedious programming steps every day, but also because it sometimes finds better solutions than humans engaged in manual effort.
Machine learning has applications in most industries, where it presents a great opportunity to improve upon existing processes. However, many businesses are struggling to keep up with the innovations.
