One of the most ground-breaking/intriguing things I have read about in the past few months is something called Machine Learning.  While this type of AI  (Artificial Intelligence) is completely unknown to the vast majority of the public, Machine Learning is being used in almost every form of business, and it will soon become a huge part of human's day-to-day lives.  Whatis.com describes Machine Learning as, "Machine Learning is a type of artificial intelligence  (AI) that provides computers with the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.  Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can teach themselves to grow and change when exposed to new data".  Simply put, Machine Learning is teaching a computer to have a brain of its own.  The possibilities of Machine Learning are limitless, and I urge everyone to take a look into what type of businesses that could be created through Machine Learning.
