Machine learning which is a branch of Artificial Intelligence is a powerful ‘enabling technology’ that represents a paradigm shift in software capability. The application of Machine learning should be measured on to the potential to create significant value, predictive success or process automation, Value Realization, Defensibility keys such as distance from industry monoliths; domain complexity and associated expertise; the creation of a network effect through data; proprietary algorithms; the ability to attract high quality ML talent etc. How else can the success be measured?
