Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence - What they are to business – Productivity Revolution

Thought I'd write this short note on what Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence are and their business relevance. If I look at it holistically, saving time and gaining insights are the two biggest gains from these technologies. Machine learning gives computers the ability to program themselves without explicitly asking command for each and every task given to it. Machine learning develops programs that help the computer to access data, learn it and compute the tasks given accordingly. This helps computers to execute tasks automatically without human intervention.
