The document discusses the relationship between machine learning, artificial intelligence, and human involvement in problem-solving. It highlights how future developments will involve more data and cooperation between humans and machines to enhance decision-making processes. Additionally, it emphasizes that strong machine learning techniques do not equate to true intelligence, and human insights can significantly benefit algorithms.

12. SUMMARY
•
Strong Machine Learning techniques != Intelligence
•
In the near future, more data, sensors, natural language input
•
Machine and human cooperate to solve complex problems
•
Human judgments can improve algorithms when done right
•
We can partner with machines if we understand them
