機械に奪われる仕事 — そして残る仕事

This is a clear and accurate description of what machine learning can and can't do. It also offer a well-reasoned perspective on the potential impact on society.

This book is a nice middle ground between a popular science book and a text book. It goes into enough depth that readers get a sense for some of the concepts behind the major machine learning algorithms. It covers the algorithms that are currently trendy (neural networks and ensembles of decisions trees) and approaches that are out of favor. The idea of a 'Master Algorithm' is a nice narrative device to tie the book together, but a little contrived as a standalone concept.

This book is a clear and thoughtful account of how AI and robotics are going to impact the future. It also touches on policy remedies that might help us as we confront that future.
