Machine Learning Is Revolutionizing Every Industry

Machine learning is being applied in recommendation engines, marketing automation, financial fraud detection, language translation, and text-to-speech applications. Apple recently announced that the iPhone 7 would use machine learning in its camera to recognize faces, imagery, and even the lighting in a room, making Apple the latest tech company to give primacy to its use of machine learning. But machine learning is no longer exclusive to digital companies: Businesses in every industry are utilizing this technology to improve processes. The NFL uses machine learning to gather deep insights into player movements, positions, and passes to reorganize play style. In the medical sector, machine learning analyzes patients and predicts the likelihood of their returning. Even hiring and talent management in most companies is now handled by algorithms that dig out desired characteristics and, hopefully, remove biases.
