The future of machine learning is artificial intelligence, where machines will extract knowledge from data, make decisions, and figure out how to solve new problems. It will be a far leap forward compared to the present-day applications. This program provides the learners with a firm awareness of ML/AI technologies and their applications, covering the basic concepts, tools, and techniques of ML/AI.
