Abstract

Learning has been at the forefront of human activity for thousands of years. Machine learning, a much newer field, has recently gained popularity and gotten much attention in the media and in conversations around us. In this article, I define machine learning, describe its different branches, and explain how it works. I also answer some of the concerns and questions that people have about the future of technology, especially as it relates to advances in machine learning.
