Maryland researchers say they discovered 'Holy Grail' of machine learning

A team of researchers from Maryland say they've invented a general artificial intelligence way for machines to identify and process 3-D images that doesn't require humans to go through the tedium of inputting specific information that accounts for each and every instance, scenario, difference, change and category that could crop up. But stay with me, layperson. This is actually a huge deal for the technology sector -- a massive step for the case of general AI versus specific AI. And once fine-tuned, this development will have the power to shape and change how everyone from police and intelligence officials to retail marketers and medical professionals go about their daily business. Currently, neural networks, defined as those computing systems that are aimed at mimicking how humans think and make decisions, are only as good as the information that's inputted.
