Driving Innovations in Machine Learning with Intel - IT Peer Network

We've long known that there are many tasks that computers can perform faster – and better – than humans. Of course, we still have to teach computers HOW to do these tasks, and when using conventional programming techniques we have to be very specific about what computers should do and when. With machine learning, we're essentially teaching computers how to learn what to do, and some of them are becoming better than we are at complex tasks. For example, machine learning is a key enabler of self-driving cars and experts predict that they will eventually be safer than human-driven vehicles. That's just one example of how machine learning is letting us use computers in new ways to do new things.
