Researchers asked 375 business and technology leaders from a variety of organizations about their use of machine learning (ML). Of these respondents, 60 percent have already implemented a ML strategy, while another 18 percent plan to do so in 12 to 24 months. Only 5 percent reported no interest in ML technology and no plans to adopt it. This doesn't mean that a large majority of businesses have amassed teams of robots that could ace the Turing test, however. In a report on the new survey, Philippe Poutonnet, global product marketing lead for Google Cloud, explains that "Machine learning is basically a way for a computer to find the nuggets of information that a human can't."
