AI isn’t a single technology; it’s better described as a broad field of inquiry into the development of machines that solve problems normally solved by human intelligence (along with problems we can’t solve!). For Industry 4.0, the AI innovation with the most impact (so far) is machine learning (ML). What is ML? ML algorithms create models based on historic data that return accurate predictions when given new data. “Machine learning is not intelligence in the true sense,” says Scott Genzer, data scientist at RapidMiner, [...]
