Artificial Intelligence: The future is data capture, not machine learning

Adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has accelerated since the pandemic hit as the whole world moved towards digitization. A study by Oxford University and Yale University indicates that AI will outperform humans in many ways and will automate all human jobs in the next 120 years. By 2024, AI will be better than humans at translation, will write bestselling books by 2049, and will perform surgeries by 2053. Machine learning (ML), the proficiency of a machine to mimic human ability to accumulate knowledge and use it to drive insights, is generally considered the basis of AI. Although AI might depend on its machine learning abilities, we need to take a step back and realize ML doesn't happen in vacuum. ML is driven by big data, without which it can't take place.
