On Intelligence.
How to Create a Mind.

Its input is the experience and fate of all living creatures that ever existed.

All the Master Algorithm has to do is provide a shortcut to the laws’ consequences, replacing impossibly long mathematical derivations with much shorter ones based on actual observations.
inferences
rivers, clouds, and trees of the world are all the result of such procedures—and fractal geometry shows they are—perhaps those procedures are just different parametrizations of a single one that we can induce from them.
once we discover it in one field, we can more readily discover it in others;
and once we’ve learned how to solve it in one field, we know how to solve it in all.

Machine learning is what you get when the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics meets the unreasonable effectiveness of data.

Bayes’ theorem is a machine that turns data into knowledge. According to Bayesian statisticians,

in other words, it can be programmed to do anything.
What about all the things the experts don’t know but you can discover from data?

partly because of the similarity between its structure and the structure of the world.
Modern learning algorithms can learn rich internal representations, not just pairwise associations
In fact, it’s the other way around: human

To which the answer is: indeed. Wouldn’t it be nice if, instead of trying hundreds of variations of many algorithms, we just had to try hundreds of variations of a single one?
If we can figure out what’s important and not so important in each one, what the important parts have in common and how they complement each other, we can, indeed, synthesize a Master Algorithm from them.
As Isaiah Berlin memorably noted, some thinkers are foxes—they know many small things—and some are hedgehogs—they know one big thing.
Before we can discover deep truths with machine learning, we have to discover deep truths about machine learning.
for you but not most other people. No doctor can keep track of all the information needed to predict the best treatment for you, given your medical history and your cancer’s genome. It’s an ideal job for machine learning, and yet today’s learners aren’t up to it.
