Abstract

This review paper explores the vital role played by the programming language Python in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). It will discuss the origin of AI and ML, the first programming language used for it, and its bottlenecks will be made known. There will also be an exposition on the emergence of Python, its elements, and the comparison between Python and LISP. The adoption and integration of Python into AI and ML will be considered, and the advanced components of Python and their uses in AI and ML will also be discussed. The trajectory of AI and ML with Python and the game-changing benefits of using Python in AI and ML will be assessed. Suggestions will be given on what should be improved in Python to improve AI and ML.

keywords:

AI; ML; Python; Automation; Data analytics.
