AI overview
Machine learning is a type of computer technology where systems learn to do tasks by finding patterns in data, rather than being given step-by-step instructions for what to do. It matters because it enables computers to improve and make decisions on their own, making many modern applications—from recommendation systems to medical diagnosis—more effective and efficient.

Machine learning (ML) is a field of study in artificial intelligence concerned with the development and study of statistical algorithms that can learn from data and generalize to unseen data, and thus perform tasks without being explicitly programmed. Advances in the field of deep learning have allowed neural networks, a class of statistical algorithms, to surpass many previous machine learning approaches in performance.
Statistics and mathematical optimisation methods compose the foundations of machine learning. Data mining is a related field of study, focusing on exploratory data analysis (EDA) through unsupervised learning.
