The Master Algorithm

"The premise of the algorithm is this: “all knowledge – past, present, and future – can be derived from a single, universal learning algorithm” (Domingos, Pedro. The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World. Basic Books, Hachette Book Group. 2015, 2018. Print. 25). In theory, this algorithm would render all currently existent algorithms obsolete. It,...is the last thing we’ll ever have to invent because once we let it loose, it will go on to invent everything else that can be invented. All we need to do is provide it with the right kind of data, and it will discover the corresponding knowledge (Domingos 25)."Fiona Enright.
