The attached picture is the simplest explanation of Machine Learning I've seen.
In the regular world of writing code to solve problems, programmers write rules and apply them to data to produce the answers they need.
Sometimes, writing those rules is really difficult. For example, imagine having to write code to solve this problem: "Identify the animal in the given picture."
Machine Learning gives us a tool to solve those super-complex problems for which we don't know how to write the rules, but we have a ton of samples.
The goal is to learn the rules from that data, not to write them.
With Machine Learning, we process all of that data to discover patterns and try to generalize to new data. Using existing data, we can "learn" to answer future, similar questions.
In other words, we start with data and the correct answers, and using that information, we learn the appropriate rules.
I'm telling you: learning AI/ML is a superpower.
