Machine Learning

Machine learning is a tough topic to wrap your head around, because
it comes in so many different forms and shapes, but the way
I think about Machine Learning is how a computer can perform a task
, and usually when we program a computer to be able to do a task
we are giving it a very explicit instruction : Do this or
if this is true , do that, or do this some number of times using
"for loop" for example.

But in machine learning, instead of telling the computer explicit instructions on how to do something, we instead tell the computer how to LEARN o do something on its own.

There is a distinction between Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning though, because whenever you hear a talk about machine learning you get to hear about artificial intelligence in the same talk.

Artificial Intelligence or AI is usually a little bit broader, it used to describe any situation where a computer is acting rationally or intelligently ; machine learning is a way of getting computers to act rationally or intelligently by learning from patterns and learning from data and being able to learn from experiences.
