How Machine Learning is pushing the boundaries of Artificial Intelligence

Somewhere in a remote town at an indoor vertical farm, sensors and cameras are installed to gather data on growing environment conditions; capturing everything from the moisture and nutrients to the availability of light and oxygen. This information is then sent to the processors through the cloud to be analysed and to suggest immediate action that is performed under strict vigilance. In another instance, data scientists are mining satellite images of parking lots of shopping malls to predict foot traffic for major retailing corporations. Taking things a notch higher, deep learning algorithms are applied to get data for investors to buy, who then make stock allocation decisions based on this information. That is the future of thinking and the wonder of data science.
