π€ Theory: What Even Is Machine Learning?
Machine learning is when computers learn from data - not just rules.
Instead of being told exactly what to do, they look at patterns in data and use those patterns to make predictions or decisions.
ML powers things you use every day, like:
- π¬ Netflix recommendations (based on what youβve watched)
- π± Face ID on phones (learns to recognize your face from many angles)
- π Self-driving cars (detects objects, follows road rules, reacts in real time)
- π¬ Chatbots and voice assistants (understand and respond to human language)
