Despite a slow start, Pakistan too is shaping to take off in the field of machine learning
KARACHI:
What do humans do to improve their accuracy and speed of work? They get the knowledge their brain uses to respond, calculate, and perform a task. What do the computers do to make themselves more efficient or more accurate? They use the method called Machine Learning (ML). As the world is progressing and companies are putting effort into increasing their production more efficiently, they are going towards using Artificial Intelligence (AI). Pakistan, which is also advancing in the field of IT, is also making efforts to stay with the world in the field of AI and ML with the help of brilliant minds. Still, most of them are working for foreign companies due to the limitation of resources in Pakistan.
AI is everywhere today, but there was a time when the whole field wasn't considered valuable. After initial advances and much hype in the mid-to-late 1950s and 1960s, breakthroughs stalled and did not meet the expectations. There just wasn't enough computing power to realize that potential. Also, operating such a system was prohibitively expensive. As a result, both interest and funds dried up. Then, increased research funding and an expanding algorithmic toolkit revived this pursuit in the 1980s. But it didn't take long for the decade-long AI winter to return.
Then came two significant changes that directly enabled AI as we know it today. AI efforts have moved...
