Five common use cases where machine learning can make a big difference - AI News

While many industries are struggling amid the coronavirus pandemic, both the IT industry and the broader trend of transition to remote work have revealed many areas where traditional approaches to managing businesses create unnecessary waste. Still, data science and its subdivision – machine learning – reveal that such expansion is nearly limitless. Machine learning uses powerful algorithms to discover insights based on real-world data that can then be used to make predictions about future outcomes. As new data comes available, machine learning programs can automatically adapt and produce updated predictions. As with any tool, machine learning is not a silver bullet. However, there are many situations in which the technology can outperform linear and statistical algorithms.
