Which are the ripest areas for startups to disrupt using machine learning? At the core, machine learning/artificial intelligence relies on two key ingredients: advanced algorithms and data sets to train those algorithms. First, software buyers actively seek to prevent single vendor lock-in; hence the rise of open source.
