We have been underselling the future. In fact, the future will be neither dystopia nor utopia (which is an actively harmful dichotomy) - it will be what we do the work to make it. And the best way to the brightest future is to focus on what we can do, and make sure we are working to get there. Kate O’Neill, author of Tech Humanist and Pixels and Place, explores the ways we have already begun to solve human problems at scale, and makes the case for an approach that’s both hopeful and strategic as our best chance at a truly bright future.

An algorithm is a set of rules or instructions you provide to a system. The system performs a specific process to answer a question using these instructions. As an amateur or expert, it is important for you to understand what an algorithm is and how you should define it.

Want to add "Machine Learning" to your LinkedIn profile? Well, hold on there. Before you embark on your journey, there are some high-level theory and statistical principles to weave through first. But rather than spend $30-$50 on a thick textbook, you may want to listen to this book first, a step-by-step guide intended for absolute beginners.

Until very recently, most languages had no words for numbers greater than five - anything from six to infinity was known as 'lots'. While the numbers in our world have become increasingly complex, our brains are stuck in the past. Yet the ability to communicate and understand numbers has never mattered more. So how can we more effectively translate numbers and stats so that the data comes alive? In Making Numbers Count, Chip Heath and Karla Starr argue that understanding numbers is essential - but humans aren't built to understand them.  

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence and computer science that is becoming increasingly relevant in our modern world. It’s a relatively new and progressive way of allowing a computer model to improve over time as it is introduced to more data. With the widespread availability of computers today, most machine learning techniques can be done at home.
