Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can enable us to make more informed decisions without making the decisions for us. Business Post brought this interesting information to our attention in their article, “AI and machine learning: predictable outcomes.”

Relying on AI-powered machines give some people pause, even though we do it all day in our work and personal lives. When machines become intelligent, they can understand requests, connect data points and draw conclusions. This is the part that concerns people.

We are at a new level of cognition in the AI field that has grown to be truly useful in our lives. While AI is the broad science of mimicking human abilities, machine learning is a specific subset of AI that teaches a machine how to learn.

While machine learning is based on the idea that machines should be able to learn and adapt through experience, AI refers to a broader concept where machines can execute tasks with efficiency, or smartly.
