Machine Learning

Machine Learning (ML) is a branch of AI in which systems learn patterns from data rather than being explicitly programmed. The term was coined by Arthur Samuel at IBM in 1959 and has grown into the dominant approach for building intelligent software. ML powers recommendation engines on platforms like Spotify and YouTube, fraud detection at major banks, predictive maintenance in manufacturing, medical diagnostics in radiology, and the spam filters protecting every email inbox. Three broad families exist — supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning — each suited to different problems. Strong AI governance requires careful oversight of every ML model throughout its lifecycle, from training data selection to deployment monitoring. As one of the foundational AI terms every leader should know, machine learning is also central to AI compliance, AI risk management, and responsible AI program design across regulated industries.
