Maskinlæring er ikke lenger bare for enkle oppgaver som å beregne kredittrisiko og sortere post -- i dag klarer den mye mer kompliserte oppgaver, som å rette essayer og diagnostisere sykdommer. Med disse fremskrittene kommer det opp et vanskelig spørsmål: Vil en robot gjøre jobben din i fremtiden?

If you're interested in better understanding machine learning, Kaggle has easy data sets to get you started. For example, you can predict who survived the Titanic based on gender, class, price paid for ticket. You can start with Microsoft Excel and step up to Python when you're ready for a bigger challenge.

The return of the machinery question

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.

The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World

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.

The Second Machine Age

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.
