A broad look at machine learning’s ambitions

Pedro Domingos introduces the learning systems behind familiar technologies such as search engines, online shopping, and smartphones, then turns to the broader ambition of creating an algorithm able to learn from data across many kinds of problems. The book connects that goal to possible changes in business, science, and society, giving machine learning both a technical and a social frame. Its central question is how far a general-purpose learning system might extend what computers can do—and what follows if that effort succeeds.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking an accessible overview of machine learning and its applications.
  • Those interested in how data-driven systems could affect business, science, and society.
  • Readers curious about the pursuit of more general-purpose artificial intelligence.

Book overview

Recommended by Bill Gates

A thought-provoking and wide-ranging exploration of machine learning and the race to build computer intelligences as flexible as our own

In the world's top research labs and universities, the race is on to invent the ultimate learning algorithm: one capable of discovering any knowledge from data, and doing anything we want, before we even ask. In The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos lifts the veil to give us a peek inside the learning machines that power Google, Amazon, and your smartphone. He assembles a blueprint for the future universal learner--the Master Algorithm--and discusses what it will mean for business, science, and society. If data-ism is today's philosophy, this book is its bible.
