Machine Learning

ML

In one sentenceThe method behind modern AI: systems that learn patterns from examples instead of following hand-written rules.

What it means

Instead of programming every rule ("if the email contains X, mark as spam"), machine learning shows a system thousands of examples and lets it figure out the patterns itself.

Deep learning is a type of machine learning that uses large neural networks. LLMs and image generators are deep learning models.

How to use it

• Machine learning already runs your LinkedIn feed, email spam filter and ad targeting. Generative AI is the newest, most visible branch.
