I believe over the next decade
computing will become even more
ubiquitous and intelligence will
become ambient… this will be
made possible by an ever growing
network of connected devices,
incredible computing capacity
from the cloud, insights from big
data, and intelligence from
machine learning.
“If you invent a
breakthrough in Artificial
Intelligence, so machines
can learn, that is worth 10

What is Machine Learning ?
“The goal of machine learning is to build
computer systems that can
adapt and learn from their experience.”
