Artificial Intelligence vs. Machine Learning – Towards Data Science
Anyone who's seen The Matrix has a general understanding of AI (artificial intelligence) and maybe even machine learning (ML).

AI Will Stop You From Sharing Netflix Password With Friends
If you are someone who watches all the latest Netflix series using your friend's credentials, a new AI tech is here to prevent you from doing so. A London based company named Synamedia which intends to empower Pay TV operators and video streaming websites is planning to launch an AI-based service to crack down on password sharing. The service dubbed Credentials Sharing Insights will keep a check on casual password sharing as well as criminal enterprises who want to mint money by reselling Pay TV login credentials. However, the company wants to focus majorly on those who share their passwords with friends, family members, and roommates out of generosity. In an interview with Variety, Synamedia's CEO said, "The way you secure OTT is evolving."
