Survey: Most Businesses Are Now Adopting Machine Learning Strategies

A recent survey compiled by MIT Technology Review and Google Cloud suggests that machine learning (ML) is being adopted by businesses at a rapid pace. According to data collected, 60 percent of respondents indicated they have already implemented ML strategies, with almost a third attesting they were at the "mature stage" of those efforts. The survey, which was conducted in 2016, gathered responses from 375 businesses of all sizes. Companies ranged from one-person shops to those with more than 3,000 employees. About half of the companies surveyed employed less than 50 people.
