Machine Learning: Man Vs. Machine Or Man Machine?

Is there one term to describe the fantastic machines and infinite computing power built around the cloud, innovative chips, and semiconductors already in use by a growing number of companies? "Artificial intelligence (AI) technology," according to SAP's senior director of advanced analytics, Chandran Saravana, on Coffee Break with Game Changers Radio, presented by SAP on May 3, 2017. He and SAP's senior director of Big Data initiatives, David Jonker, joined producer/moderator Bonnie D. Graham (follow on Twitter: @SAPRadio and #SAPRadio) for a lively discussion on "Machine Learning: Man vs. Machine Or Man Machine?" Chandran observed, "Businesses are already relying heavily on this level of AI. But when it comes to machine learning, you have to bridge a big gap to teach the machines how to learn – so machines can become smarter every day." It describes a computer science subfield that analyzes algorithms iteratively to find hidden insights, but without being explicitly told where to look.
