Looking Ahead: The Industries That Will Change The Most As Machine Learning Grows

Self-driving cars, medical research, financial market predictions: The applications of machine learning technologies seem limitless. Data processing isn't a small task: Countless human work hours are spent collating and developing data, seeking patterns and information from seemingly unrelated tidbits. And there is a constantly growing number of data sources: Excel spreadsheets or SQL (or NoSQL) databases have long-since replaced the old-school filing cabinets of records, not to mention the growth in tracked website usage, which can improve web experience for users, as well as advertising options for companies. With all of these potential areas of growth, which industries can you expect to be most affected by advances in machine learning? Having personal exposure to emerging health-care tech, I can assure you we're in for some exciting times.
