Ray Kurzweil is a famous futurist who's always banked on the coming of the singularity — when artificial intelligence overcomes human intelligence.

The latest research from MIT, the TACO method, has brought groundbreaking progress to the field of artificial intelligence. The core of this research lies in endowing AI agents with a more powerful ...

For Bayesians, creating the master algorithm boils down to efficiently implementing Bayes's theorem, a mathematical rule for updating our degree of belief in a hypothesis when we see new evidence.

This powerful “master algorithm” is at the heart of work postulated by Pedro Domingos, author of The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World.

Often they are convinced that this is the master algorithm, and that they will solve the whole learning problem with it. I myself don’t think any of those things by themselves are the master ...
