AI and human intuition go hand in hand

Give any respectable machine learning algorithm a concrete scenario to optimize and it will blow human-based heuristics out of the water. But we as humans should continue to focus on what we do best -- thinking creatively, building empathy for other humans -- in order to guide machines in the right directions. A friend asks for recommendations of restaurants that are good for a romantic night out. If you're like most people, you probably jumped to a few salient features -- cozy atmosphere, fancy and non-messy food, and maybe bonus points for shareable desserts. Based on the perceived importance of each of these features, you then remembered a few restaurants that do well on each of these areas and formulated a recommendation.
