Paid Program: Machine Learning for CEOs

Here's the most critical thing for CEOs to understand about machine learning: When it's done right, the outcomes get better with more time, more data, more use. That's so important because companies that aren't using machine learning to, say, make better product recommendations or provide better customer service risk falling behind rivals whose systems keep getting smarter. "Every CEO, in every industry, needs to worry about new companies coming in and doing it better by using software," says Amit Zavery, senior vice president for Oracle Cloud Platform. "The next thing most companies are going to do is start using machine learning to improve the software--and improve their relationships with customers. So it's going to be too late if you don't learn now."
