Companies are making 350% on their investments in machine learning - The Daily Reckoning - UK Edition

I've been skim-reading articles in The Economist, The Sunday Times and The Evening Standard lately about the coming wave of robotics and automation. Those articles are all the same. They talk vaguely about how robots will replace lots of white collar workers within ten years. And they skim over the question of how the technology works. Ten years is a nice time scale for a prediction: far enough out that you can make amazing claims, close enough that they seem vaguely urgent.
