Machine learning is becoming a strategic perimeter for GDPR compliance - SiliconANGLE

Privacy advocates have placed an unfair stigma on machine learning. Despite what you may have heard through the mass media, ML is not some fiendish tool for invading people's privacy. Regardless, now that European Union's General Data Protection Regulation has taken effect, there's an even stronger scrutiny of ML applications in target marketing, customer engagement, experience optimization and other use cases that touch personally identifiable information, or PII. But in fact, ML is becoming a key element in how organizations manage compliance with GDPR and other privacy mandates. The core of ML's role in GDPR compliance is in its use as a tool for discovering, organizing, curating and controlling enterprise PII assets across complex, distributed application environments.
