Machine learning is also used in fashion designing.Indian E-Commerce giant Myntra has multiple brands that are designed by deep learning systems.

6. Energy

Energy is one of the core sectors where machine learning solutions are bringing huge differences. Power consumption and requirements prediction, dynamic per unit cost maintenance, hardware lifespan analysis are part of machine learning applications in this sector.It is also being used for managing alternate energy resources.

7. Banking and Financial

In a digital economy, machine learning helps banks and other financial organizations to safeguard from frauds, money laundering, illegal financial detection, identifying valuable customers, etc. It also helps financial organizations with stock market predictions, demand forecasting, offering personalized banking solutions to the customers, etc.

An automobile is another sector where the impact of machine learning is huge. Almost every automobile manufacturer uses artificial intelligence to optimise fuel consumption, breakdown prediction, and even self-driving. Tesla, Nvidia, etc., are investing a lot over self-driving cars.

9. Customer Service

Almost every organization is using chatbots for customer services. Chatbots are cost-effective and changing the customer service landscape to a large extent. Automated translation and state-of-the-art text-to-speech and speech to text systems are helping to overcome the language barrier.

10. Governance and Surveillance

Machine learning is reshaping modern Governance and defense systems. With the help of the state of the art deep learning algorithms and infrastructures, security agencies are now enabled with real-time image detection, drone surveillance, automated social network monitoring, etc.

11. Insurance

Insurance is sitting on a gold mine of data that is traditionally being used only at the application level as an industry. With the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning, Insurers are now empowered with valuable insights from the data they possess. Machine learning is being used for faster claims recovery, fraud detection, renewal prediction, churn analysis, etc. From New new business today two transactions, it can be used at every stage of the policy life cycle.

12. Human Resource Management

13. Transportation

While using app cab rides, you must have observed the dynamic pricing and surge charges at some point in time. This is also an application of machine learning. User data is also being used to predict the shortest path.

14. Art and Creativity

Machine learning is no longer being used to automate the mundane jobs for humans; it is also being used for creative purposes. Artistic style transfer, text to image synthesis, automated soundtrack and video creation, image colouring, social media chatbots, etc., are some of the cool applications of machine learning in this sector.

Trends in Machine Learning

From the beginning of the internet era, the applications of machine learning are increasing exponentially. Let’s look at the world wide google trends for machine learning for the period of 2004 to 2019.

Conclusion

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are no longer science fiction or part of Hollywood movies; their applications are everywhere in our day to day life. Every innovation has a positive and negative side; machine learning is also not an exception. Though in this article, we discussed mainly the positive applications of machine learning, it can also be used as evil. Deep learning systems like Deep Fakes have a huge impact on human life and privacy. As a growing field of study and applications, the need for strong data governance is also emerging as a necessity.
