5 industries ripe for human-machine learning

Machine learning has been a constant on tech trend lists for years. This year, it's time to embrace what humans can learn by interacting with machine learning. As Google's head of Machine Intelligence, Blaise Aguera y Arcas noted in a recent Medium article: "Machine intelligence will expand our understanding of both external reality and our perceptual and cognitive processes." In the spring of 2016, Google's AlphaGo software, fueled by machine learning, beat the world's greatest human Go player, Lee Sedol. The victory was a major milestone for a specific type of AI, called deep neural networks, that is more closely modeled on the way humans think.
