It gives the computer that makes it similar to humans: The ability to learn.

Machine learning is one of the most fascinating technologies to have ever been introduced. It focuses on using data and algorithms to imitate how humans learn, gradually improving its accuracy. In the past decade, machine learning has given us self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, effective web search, and more. It is so pervasive today that you probably use it dozens of times a day without even noticing it. With us, you’ll discover not only the theoretical foundations of learning but also the practical aspects, and how needed to quickly and powerfully apply these techniques to new problems.
