By unlocking the master algorithm, the author argues, we can make accurate predictions across all fields of knowledge. This would enable humanity to either follow and be cognizant to what lies ...

For Bayesians, creating the master algorithm boils down to efficiently implementing Bayes's theorem, a mathematical rule for updating our degree of belief in a hypothesis when we see new evidence.

Some researchers dream of solving all mysteries with a common method—but a mathematical paradox may keep such solutions out of reach ...

Researchers uncover algorithm which may solve human intelligence If we have the algorithm, we also have the key to true artificial intelligence.

A new algorithm that fast forwards simulations could bring greater use ability to current and near-term quantum computers, opening the way for applications to run past strict time limits that ...
