In just a few short years, machine learning has advanced to the point where it can make both our personal and our professional lives easier in a wide range of different ways. As a subset of the larger topic of artificial intelligence, machine learning is simply classified as the use of various statistical techniques that give computers and software applications the ability to "learn" without actually being programed to do so. In the world of business, this has the potential to unlock an incredible amount of value. Using past customer data, you can use machine learning to better interpret their own behaviors and predict opportunities for up-sells or upgrades, make personal recommendations based on order histories and more. The manufacturing industry has been using machine learning to great effect, using it to increase the efficiency of predictive maintenance on mission critical assets in environments like factories and warehouses.
