=== Relation to marketing ===
Machine learning is used to teach machines how to learn, which is a subset of AI. It is more of a process of asking, collecting data, creating an algorithm, trying it, fixing it, and correcting, while AI is a broader term that includes all kinds of science of creating machines to achieve tasks, as stated in the lecture. There are ways that marketers use machine learning in tracking how leads act on the internet and the best, most effective ways to market to them. Cookies are placed on the users computers which track users habits and likes, which then is used by artificial intelligence through machine learning to make predictions about what is best to market to the user based on previous searches, clicks and likes.
