As businesses grapple with increasing amounts of data and search for ways to use it effectively, they're turning more and more to machine learning and deep learning. Both models use statistics to make predictions, but there are differences.

Machine learning employs algorithms to identify patterns and make predictions. When the algorithmic model makes a wrong prediction, a programmer must troubleshoot. Deep learning functions similarly, but its artificial neural network enables it to problem-solve more like a human. It can correct itself in the case of a bad prediction.

The two artificial-intelligence applications can help leaders make complex decisions. Business leaders want to understand the value of predictive analysis and models to develop proprietary data sets that give them a competitive advantage.

Shifting your organization's focus to finding new patterns in data and anticipating future trends can help you capture opportunities and prepare for risks.

According to a survey conducted by Accenture, approximately 90 percent of C-suite respondents said their success is sustained by their use of forward-looking data sets and analytic approaches.
