In his book The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos offers a masterfully simple definition: “An algorithm is,” Domingos writes, “a sequence of instructions telling a computer what to do.” ...

This kind of algorithm is different from any link related algorithm that has ever preceded it. This is how Google’s patent application filed in 2006 and published in 2015 describes this algorithm: ...

As the algorithm reads and sorts more data, it gets better at recognizing colors. By this point, it is fully trained and is able to grasp and generate white, red, and gray.

Microsoft Research, with help from OpenAI, released a paper on GPT-4 that claims the algorithm is a nascent example of artificial general intelligence (AGI). What does that mean?

8 practical examples of deep learning Now that we’re in a time when machines can learn to solve complex problems without human intervention, what exactly are the problems they are tackling?
