If you have been following the social media lately, you must be aware of the ongoing repartee between two powerful men- Tesla and SpaceX (SPACEX) CEO Elon Musk and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over what Artificial Intelligence (AI) would really mean to the future of humankind. The whole ‘future of AI’ is a bit too far-fetched for our understanding. But, as L&D professionals there is another term ‘Machine Learning’ that has caught our attention from amongst all those discussions about AI, Big Data, Analytics etc.
