What is Machine Learning?

Machine Learning (ML) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence that enables computers to learn from data and improve their performance on tasks without being explicitly programmed for each specific task.

Instead of following fixed instructions, machine learning algorithms analyze patterns in data and use these insights to make predictions or decisions. The more data they process, the better they get at performing their tasks.

For example, a machine learning system can be trained to recognize images of cats and dogs by studying many labeled pictures. Over time, it learns to identify whether a new picture is of a cat or a dog, even if it has never seen that exact image before.

Machine Learning powers many AI applications, such as speech recognition, fraud detection, and personalized recommendations.
