Machine Learning: Things Are Getting Intense

Systems that use data to learn and improve from experience are getting more pilots and trials in large and medium enterprises. Here are five reasons why. Large and medium-sized enterprises will step up their use of machine learning in 2018, Deloitte Global predicts, doubling the number of implementations and pilot projects that were underway in 2017. By 2020, that number will likely have doubled again. And as enabling technologies such as machine learning APIs and specialized hardware become available in the cloud, these advances will likely be increasingly within reach for small companies as well.
