Machine Learning as well as Artificial Intelligence, both serve as computer science majors and did not fail to create a groundbreaking scope among data analysts as well as computer science enthusiasts. Both became very popular owing to their applications in almost all the fields existing. At the base level explanation, Artificial Intelligence makes sure that the computer system mimics the activities of a human being. Visual Interpretation, Speech Recognition, Language Translation and Decision Making which were functions of human beings are now insinuated into machines, to make life less difficult. Machine Learning goes hand in hand with artificial intelligence providing it with the training to perform in real-life situations. Since computers are used in almost every aspect of our day-to-day life, they became inevitable. Many companies or industries try to incorporate artificial intelligence into their functioning as it proved to be effective and efficient over a very short span of time. Machine learning (ML) is an exciting branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) because it facilitates the deduction of meaningful data patterns from datasets, by comparing them and playing with them. This task may seem tedious for humans to accomplish. The demand for having a machine complete such tiring tasks at a moment’s notice is the driving force for the popularity of Machine Learning. It does not stop with just the comparison of data. It analyses them, reviews them, studies them and then pushes away the conclusion based on the supervision of the dataset provided. The machine learning process acts like a tutor for the system, preparing it to read, compare, analyse and predict values based on the input fed. With scientists’ prediction, this technology will be an integral part of our lives until a better technology finds a way through this and It would be difficult to untangle ourselves from this technology. Artificial Intelligence is compiled of various branches that include Robotics, Machine Learning, Knowledge Engineering and Natural Language Processing. Each of these branches is given importance and individually studied. Among the many various applications of Artificial Intelligence, it is the healthcare field that comforts many people in our livelihood. With AI taking care of the repetitive jobs that include storing the data after every scan or x-ray, without any loss of data is laudable. Machine Learning makes an entry here, on the recommendation of medication studying the patient’s history of medicine intake and analysing the body check-up report of the patient. This narrows down any mistake that had the chance of happening due to human-made errors. Not only aiding the human healthcare field, but AI also extends its arm over the agricultural sector as well. Artificial Intelligence can be employed in the detection of plants and decoding the nutrition imbalance in them. Machine learning can help in analysing the soil, weather condition, water usage, and the discipline of the seeds that are to be soughed in the soil. With all this information, one can structurally minimise both the work and loss of a farmer. Though the reusability of AI is questioned, many companies put forward their solutions for this particular concern. Intel came up with a very innovative AI tool named, OpenVino Toolkit. This toolkit enabled the users to deploy high-performance AI inference to the cloud. Inference engines are designed in such a way that they would enable the user to run and obtain output from different multiple processors, all with a written once program. By such means, the deployment anywhere feasible is achieved. With AI, cybersecurity is ensured as it proved to protect the data more systematically and affordably. Machine Learning look out for patterns associated with Virus programs, thus preventing the theft of data before the virus reaches it. AI is believed to have a vital role in sustainability, environmental changes and climate change. With sophisticated sensors put to use, the cities will turn less congested and polluted, which in turn makes them very much livable. As we’ve seen in many movies where an artificial intelligence program ends up being a very important thing in an individual’s life, Google Assistant, Siri and Alexa already have developed those traits. They were programmed with extreme caution to make sure that the comfortability and hospitality level between the technology and the user stays above the threshold level. This further tends to enhance the bonding between the programmed tech and an individual. Smart Homes, which are completely run based on the Internet of Things as well as Artificial Intelligence has begun to get the attention of the mainstream.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning starting to turn the world around, with the features it provides. The magnanimity of the projects involving Artificial Intelligence is huge, with companies such as Google, Amazon, Intel, and IBM thriving to make the best meeting both ends, making the world that is divided by continents and differences into one small smart village. With Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning incorporated into almost all the fields, This will mark the peak of Silicon Valley Civilization, leading to something more interesting, Something very fortunate for mankind to witness.
