Understanding Machine Learning
How is AI and ML different from traditional programming? Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that involves developing algorithms and models that learn from data and make predictions or decisions without explicit programming.
With ML, systems can recognize patterns, make informed decisions, and continuously improve their performance over time.
The scope of machine learning impacts is vast, with applications spanning healthcare, finance, marketing, and more. With its ability to analyze vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make accurate predictions, machine learning empowers humans to make more informed decisions, optimize operations, and drive innovation.
