Intuition algorithms outperforms human teams

Computers could soon replace human intuition in many areas - and a new system developed at MIT has shown it can outperform even the smartest of people. MIT researchers have designed a big-data analysis system which aims to replace human intuition in the search for buried patterns. The system, called the Data Science Machine, competed against human teams in three data science competitions, and outperformed them. In Stanley Kubrick's 2001, humans were challenged by a'smart' computer. Now MIT's system was able to out-perform humans in a series of tasks designed to look for patterns in data - beating human intuition.
