Intelligence
AI
Machine learning is a core sub-area of artificial intelligence as it enables computers to get into a mode
of self-learning without being explicitly programmed. When exposed to new data, computer programs,
are enabled to learn, grow, change, and develop by themselves. The process of machine learning is
similar to that of data mining.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is usually defined as the science of making computers do things that require
intelligence when done by humans.
Data Mining or Knowledge Discovery is the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and
summarizing it into useful information─information that can be used to increase revenue, cuts costs, or both.

In the future, Adobe wants to see more integration between machine learning and the customer experience,
integrating data streams from web sites, apps and social media.
“Ultimately we are moving towards re-creating the intimacy that was lost by …the previous generation of
marketing technology that produced spam but wasn't effective.” “We want to create a unique
personalized experience for buyers where everything is catered to their problems and communicates in
their vocabulary… Not only do we want AI and machine learning to provide insights, but in-fact be
biased towards taking action directly rather than recommending actions.”

- 15. Lifecycle Position: still a niche technology but…
Machine learning ranked 18th in adoption on a list of
27 business intelligence and analytics technologies,
according to a report on the survey that TDWI
published October 2015.
Despite its relatively low adoption rate, machine
learning isn't really a new field. Experimental uses of
machine learning methods go back to the early days
of artificial intelligence (1950s). It has been a key
facet of data mining and predictive analytics
processes in leading-edge organizations for many
years.
