Machine Learning is the future one of the top tech fields to be in right now! ML and AI will change our lives in the same way electricity did 100 years ago. ML is widely adopted in Finance, banking, healthcare, transportation, and technology. The field is exploding with opportunities and career prospects

AWS is the one of the most widely used cloud computing platforms in the world and several companies depend on AWS for their cloud computing purposes. AWS SageMaker is a fully managed service offered by AWS that allows data scientist and AI practitioners to train, test, and deploy AI/ML models quickly and efficiently.
