The realities of machine learning systems - SD Times

In the late 19th century, the Industrial Revolution introduced complicated farm machinery that changed the way farmers planted, cultivated and harvested their crops. These machines meant fewer farm hands were needed, but it created jobs for people to build and repair farm equipment. The improved benefits of utilizing farm machinery impacted the quality of life, it produced food faster, and it created jobs and a new life for farmers. Machine learning is today's Industrial Revolution. TV shows and movies currently portray machine learning as this creepy, self-aware, futuristic technology that takes over humans' jobs, but these examples do not properly show the real advancements of these cognitive systems.
