The book describes the global race to create a universal learning algorithm that can extract any knowledge from data, a pursuit driving advances in AI at major tech firms. The author outlines a blueprint for a future universal learner, the Master Algorithm, and examines its implications for business, science, and society. He claims that a universal learning algorithm will profoundly reshape business, science, and society.
Wonderfully erudite, humorous, and easy to read. --KDNuggets In the world's top research labs and universities, the race is on to invent the ultimate learning algorithm: one capable of discovering any knowledge from data, and doing anything we want, before we even ask. In The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos lifts the veil to give us a peek inside the learning machines that power Google, Amazon, and your smartphone. He assembles a blueprint for the future universal learner--the Master Algorithm--and discusses what it will mean for business, science, and society. If data-ism is today's philosophy, this book is its bible.
