Whilst several significant figures such as Mark Zuckerberg have a utopian optimism towards artificial intelligence, there are, however, some big names in the tech industry who believe that AI will undoubtedly be their undoing. One such example is Elon Musk, the well-known tech aficionado.

From building new relationships to making new discoveries, technology has countless benefits. Not only has it improved how we live, but it has also improved for how long we live. Back in 1820 a person could expect to live less than 35 years, today the human life expectancy is 72 years. All thanks to the technological advancements in the healthcare sector.

With endless benefits provided to the patients and easier access for the medical staff, automation has been a game-changer. …

Introduction: What is Machine Learning?

Before giving you a technical definition of what machine learning is let us look at an example. We all know that humans learn from their past experiences and as for machines, they follow instructions given by us.

Artificial Intelligence is booming. It is not that hard to believe, how just two decades ago Deep Blue a computer beat a chess grandmaster Gary Kasparov. AI is enhancing itself and is becoming better at numerous “human” jobs — diagnosing disease, translating languages, providing customer service — and it’s improving fast.
