How Machine Learning is Changing Enterprise Business

Machine learning, a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that is sometimes called cognitive computing, refers to the technology that allows machines to "learn" and "decide" like humans. The process is a complex one, centering on the development of programs that can grow with new data--all sans human intervention. A powerful new wave of technology, machine learning has the potential to change how enterprise companies do business. Machine learning is not just science fiction anymore. While machine learning is still in the earliest stages of development and has not yet reached full-scale adoption, some influential companies have already started experimenting with these technologies and have released open-sourced versions of their software.
