What is the significance of gradient descent? Answer concisely in 2-3 sentences.
80 chars

Generation

Gradient descent is a fundamental optimization algorithm used to minimize loss functions in machine learning by iteratively adjusting parameters in the direction of steepest descent. It enables training of neural networks and other models by finding optimal parameter values that best fit the data. The algorithm's efficiency and scalability make it essential for modern AI applications, from simple linear regression to complex deep learning systems.
