Machine Learning: The Brains Behind AI Articles Internet of Things

When the average person on the street hears the words Artificial Intelligence, they usually think sentient robots coming to take their job, and potentially their life. Which is understandable, partly because films like Terminator have conditioned us to think like that, and partly because it could well be true. Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk say it might happen, and they're very rarely wrong about anything. When people hear Machine Learning on the other hand, the tendency is not so much to grab a weapon and hide under the bed until the robot apocalypse comes. It's to express a healthy reverence for how such algorithms will benefit technology and make our lives easier.
