Machine Learning versus Human Understanding

The concept of machine learning - is going to change the world - and although the term is bandied about - along with "Big Data" and "IOT" - the impact is going to swifter and more brutal than the impact e-commerce had.

So where is it going to impact?

Well as a guide - I would say - outsourced/off-shored areas - where the work - requires a human brain - but is also highly scripted - and methodic.

And the companies - that this threatens? - well - companies who offer off-shored solutions.

And how will this threat be manifested? - cloud sourced - machine learning solutions - which require a small pool of trained humans to help create the machine learning models.

So in a way it is a threat and an opportunity.

The opportunity - humans - who can create - and populate - quality machine learning models.
