A machine learning apparatus that learns laser machining condition data of a laser machining system includes: a state amount observation unit that observes a state amount of the laser machining system; an operation result acquisition unit that acquires a machined result of the laser machining system; a learning unit that receives an output from the state amount observation unit and an output from the operation result acquisition unit, and learns the laser machining condition data in association with the state amount and the machined result of the laser machining system; and a decision-making unit that outputs laser machining condition data by referring to the laser machining condition data learned by the learning unit.
