What is Machine Learning?

Machine Learning (ML) is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that allows systems the ability to automatically learn from experience and to predict outcomes without being explicitly programmed.  ML focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it to learn for themselves.

ML has become one of the most important investments from community funding in recent years. Indeed, ML is the technology most likely to provide machines a way to eventually surpass the intelligence levels of humans.

With the news technologies introduced these past few years, ML is becoming more and more important, and, in due time, it will be absolutely necessary for the survival of companies in all sectors.

How will it impact businesses?

Machine Learning involves creating computer algorithms that learn from existing data. Hence, ML tools allow companies to identify valuable opportunities and potential risks more quickly. The applications of ML drive business results in a way that can positively affect a company. With the rapid growth of new techniques, ML is always evolving and creating endless possibilities. For industries that depend on vast amounts of data, which need to be analyzed efficiently, Machine Learning is the best solution to build models, strategize, and plan accurately.

For instance, many industries, and especially start-ups, use ML and apply it to specific industry verticals, such as detecting bank fraud or preventing a cyber-attack, with predictive data models or software platforms that analyze behavioral data.

Machine Learning needs to be integrated fully within businesses to increase performance and retention. To accomplish this, there is a need to prioritize IT applications over IT architecture as well as have more engagement with AI. Using more ML tools also promote a healthier work environment.

ML has now been used across various industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and financial services, and there is no sign of it slowing down. A majority of companies are actively using ML to work on data; hence, the most successful models today are those which enable certain tasks to be taken over by AI. Thus, ML can learn from and predict consumer behavior, and deliver reliable data sets, which will drive results.

Businesses are now making better use of employees by having AI work on certain tasks and allowing humans to use their skills to improve productivity. For this, they need to adopt a clear data governance framework where information is handed to these new technologies and making Machine Learning the best way of survival for businesses in the future.
