Move over GUI, now's the time for the Intelligent User Interface
This is thanks, in large part, to a recent
breakthrough in machine learning. Unlike previous algorithmic-learning models, it uses layered neural networks to learn from examples. As a result, machine learning is surpassing human abilities when provided with a specific frame of reference. For example, machine vision has surpassed humans in image recognition. So much so that Google has created an AI that was able to detect cancer faster than a human. In fact, wherever we focus machine learning it learns from our human-curated examples then rapidly builds on that knowledge with the speed, logic and lack of bias innate to technology. The more contextually specific the data, the faster and more perceptually accurate machine learning becomes. But without context, machine learning is lost.
