Technology Trends - 2022

Machine Learning (ML)

Machine learning is the study of computer algorithms that can improve automatically through experience and by the use of data.  ML algorithms build a model based upon sample data (training data) in order to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed. ML algorithms are used in a variety of applications where it is difficult to develop conventional algorithms to perform the needed tasks.  ML algorithms are also being applied medicine, telehealth, email filtering, speech recognition, and computer vision.

ML is being deployed in a variety of industries thus creating a huge demand for skilled individuals. Forrester predicts the fields of AI, Machine Learning, and Automation will create 9% of new U.S. jobs by 2025.  These jobs will include robot monitoring professionals, data scientists, automation specialists, and content curators.
