Adoption of Machine Learning is growing significantly in business. More and more, the integration of Machine Learning is becoming an integral part of a digital transformation processes that businesses are looking to undergo. The advances in technology and the accessibility of Machine Learning capabilities, like for example TensorFlow or Cloud Services such as Google Cloud AI and operational tooling including Talend have helped combat the skills required to embrace Machine Learning concepts and accelerate delivery of solutions. Previously a discipline associated with scientists in white lab coats, Machine Learning is now becoming an increasingly mainstream activity. So instead of white lab coats you are more likely to find designer jeans and wearable devices associated with today's emerging army of machine learning developers.
