Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. It is a subset of AI that focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it to learn for themselves.
An example of machine learning is an algorithm that is used to identify objects in an image. The algorithm is trained using a large set of labeled images and then it can be used to recognize objects in new images. This type of machine learning is called supervised learning because it is given labeled data to learn from.
