AI and machine learning are transforming businesses in many ways. Machine learning uses large amounts of data to help computers learn tasks without being explicitly programmed. Deep learning uses neural networks to perform complex tasks like image recognition and natural language processing. While AI today is narrow and focused on specific tasks, generative AI and large language models are increasing capabilities. Businesses are using AI for applications like customer experience, supply chain management, banking fraud detection, and retail personalization. Major companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and IBM provide cloud services and tools to help businesses adopt and implement AI.
