Unlike conventional computers, artificial intelligence is not programmed. On the one hand, like humans, AI learns from information. Yet on the other, it learns far faster than humanly possible. Machine learning (ML) enables AI to make a correlation between a pattern and an outcome, formulate a hypothesis, take action and then integrate that feedback into its next hypothesis. AI continuously learns, with the goal of predicting future outcomes and events with greater accuracy.
