Data mining Data mining is simply filtering through large amounts of raw data for useful information that gives businesses a competitive edge. This information is made up of meaningful patterns and trends that are already in the data but were previously unseen. The most popular tool used when mining is artificial intelligence (AI). AI technologies try to work the way the human brain works‚ by making intelligent guesses‚ learning by example‚ and using deductive reasoning. Some of the more popular
