Machine Learning + Artificial Intelligence = Machine Intelligence
I was reading up on what is happening in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and listened to a few lectures/interviews. It looks like next few years will see a significant advance in these fields and it could bring disruption to lot of industries. Here is a pop science / layman version of what I understood. TL;DR version:- Research in something called Deep Learning has reached the tipping point where it is industrial strength in performance and it could be used for real world applications. 3 things that are pushing it – cheap parallel computing (GPUs), big data (collected through search, images, posts etc), better algorithms (deep learning) Focus in not on the kind of AI seen in the likes of Terminator and by all accounts we are too far from it. While robotics is progressing, that is also not where AI is getting applied (to set our mental image right). But it is on developing intelligent machines doing specific func...
