Machines aren’t taking over the world—not quite yet—but businesses that harness machine learning technology certainly have an advantage. Machine learning is globally recognized as a key driver of digital transformation, which according to SAP, is about finding new ways to deliver value, generate revenue, and improve efficiency.
