Machine Learning

Suitable for:
Above 19 years

Duration: 
6 – 16 hours

There is a steady flow of news announcing a new breakthrough or a new application built on top of Machine Learning (ML). The field is advanced enough to beat top human players in chess and Go, diagnose cancer better than doctors, and will soon be driving our cars with full autonomy. Elon Musk fears the domination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that could lead to the rise of an immortal AI dictator, while others mock his prediction as far-fetched.
