Machine Learning

core

The field of building software that learns from data instead of following hand-written rules. A machine learning model is shown millions of examples, spots statistical patterns, and uses them to make predictions or decisions on new inputs. Every generative AI tool you use — image generators, LLMs, music models — is machine learning under the hood. For creators, the key takeaway: models only know what their training data taught them, which explains both their superpowers and their blind spots. Example: a spam filter that improves as it sees more emails is classic machine learning.
