fiction anymore
Machine Learning: Science-fiction is not so fiction anymore.
The world is evolving at thunder-speed, and an increasing number of machines are being designed to catch up with humans in many activities. Ever since IBM's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Deep Blue defeated the world Chess Champion in 1997 a lot has been going on. Self-driving cars, close-to-perfect face-recognition software, stock investment geniuses, chatbots and even AI doctors are close to be (or already are) part of our daily lives. One has just to see how Watson, also an IBM AI robot "destroyed" the other (human) players in a game of Jeopardy in 2011. A few years ago, AI boundaries were given by the codes written in the robot's programming.
