Machine learning is the science of enabling computers to function without being programmed to do so.

This branch of artificial intelligence can enable systems to identify patterns in data, make decisions, and predict future outcomes. Machine learning can help companies determine the products you're most likely to buy and even the online content you're most likely to consume and enjoy.

Machine learning makes it easier to analyze and interpret massive amounts of data, which would otherwise take decades or even an eternity for humans to decode.

In effect, machine learning is an attempt to teach computers to think, learn, and act like humans. Thanks to increasing internet speeds, advancements in storage technology, and expanding computational power, machine learning has exponentially advanced and become an integral part of almost every industry.
