In many communities, December is a month set aside for reflection. To wit, across nearly every discipline, one finds magnum opuses entitled “Lessons Learned” or “The Year in Review” as the year draws to a close. Such exercises are valuable but anachronistic.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere. The possibility is that you are using it in one way or the other and you don't even know about it. One of the popular applications of AI in custom software development is Machine Learning (ML), in which computers, software, and devices perform via cognition (very similar to the human brain). Herein, we share few examples of machine learning that we use every day and perhaps have no idea that they are driven by ML.
