Electrification was, without a doubt, the greatest engineering marvel of the 20th century. The electric motor was invented way back in 1821, and the electrical circuit was mathematically analyzed in 1827. But factory electrification, household electrification, and railway electrification all started slowly several decades later.
Fast forward to today. It’s the same story with Artificial Intelligence (AI). The field of AI was formally founded in 1956. But it’s only now—more than six decades later—that AI is expected to revolutionize the way humanity will live and work in the coming decades.
Data science is a large field of study that covers data systems and processes. These systems and processes are aimed at maintaining data sets as well as getting meaning out of them. Machine Learning (ML), a branch of AI, is the concept that systems can automatically learn and adapt from experience without human intervention. ML, essentially, aims to equip machines with independent learning techniques.
