Introduction to Machine Learning

[ajay-dhangar]

This sub-issue focuses on creating introductory, beginner-friendly educational content for the Machine Learning tutorial section. The goal is to clearly explain core ML concepts, roles, and workflows in a structured and approachable way, setting a strong foundation for learners before they move into algorithms and hands-on practice.

---

Objective

Develop high-quality written content for all files under the introduction that explains:

• What Machine Learning is
• Who ML Engineers are and what they do
• How ML roles differ from other AI roles
• Required skills and responsibilities
• The end-to-end Machine Learning lifecycle

Target Audience: Beginners to early-intermediate learners with basic programming knowledge.
