Abstract
Artificial Intelligence has been considered the biggest technology in transforming society. The transformation is highly influenced by the tools and techniques provided by Machine Learning and Deep Learning. One latest discovery is Robotic Surgical Tools like Da Vinci robot which helps surgeons to perform surgeries more accurately and detect distances of particular body parts to perform surgery precisely over them using computer vision assisted by machine learning. The maintenance of health records is a tedious process and ML in association with Big Data has greatly saved the effort, money and time required while processing such records. MIT is working on intelligent smart health record learning method using machine learning techniques to give suggestions regarding diagnosis and medication. Deep mining techniques are used in medical image
