Machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence, can generate remarkably accurate predictions. It works by crunching vast quantities of data in search of patterns.
Take, for example, restaurant hygiene. The system learns which combinations of sometimes obscure factors are most suggestive of a problem. Once trained, it can assess the risk that a restaurant is dirty.
Governments are taking notice. A London borough is developing an algorithm to predict who might become homeless. In India Microsoft is helping schools predict which students are at risk of dropping out.
In Stanford AI labs programmers tried to code software to make helicopter fly autonomous helicopter to fly on their own. But were unable to programe it further then certain extent.
Afterwards they incorperated machine learning algorithms to make the computer learn itself. Slowly the computer simulated a helicopter and made the algorithm efficient and then tried it in real toy helicopter.
It is has a great potential to impact our lives. And everbody is getting ready for , not just computer science students but even economist, social media experts,management students,biologist etc.

And the helicopter flew flawlessly by itself It had learned far better than a human.

As the computing power is increasing exponentialy so is the power to A.I and analysising the data.
