Smart Machines

The future is here: Self-driving cars are on the streets, an algorithm gives you movie and TV recommendations, IBM's Watson triumphed on Jeopardy over puny human brains, computer programs can be trained to play Atari games. But how do all these things work?

Smart machines are no longer science-fiction. They are being used by businesses right here and now. And, every day, their capabilities are growing.
So exactly what is a smart machine?

Everything you've always wanted to know about smart machines other cognitive computing systems that are able to make decisions and solve problems without human intervention.

By the end of reading this book, you will master the discussion about the following topics in Smart Machines:

01 - The Rise of Smart Machines: Smart machines are built on top of the breakthroughs in computer science. the advent of computers in the 20th century laid the modern groundwork for Smart Machines. Researchers, analysts and technology leaders agree that Smart Machines will change our lives

02 - Smart machines definitions: Why did Smart Machines emerge now and not later? General-purpose technology (GPT) is an economics term for innovation. Smart machines are devices that can teach themselves how to do things. Smart machines are built on top of existing technologies. The surge of progress in machine learning thanks to big data.

03 - Artificial intelligence of Smart Machines: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Projects.
