The term ‘machine learning’ has become a buzzword in the past year or so. Billions of dollars are invested in artificial intelligence (AI) technology each year — between $26 billion and $39 billion in 2016 according to the McKinsey Global Institute Study — of which nearly 60% went into machine learning.

Financial services are leading early adopters, together with high tech and telecom. McKinsey predicts that these three industries will continue to lead AI adoption in the next three years.
