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 ...

Quantum computers solve difficult problems efficiently using quantum gates and quantum algorithms. Shor's algorithm is an example of a quantum algorithm that is more efficient than classical ...

DeepMind has consistently attempted to tackle the problem using an approach called lookahead search. With this method, an algorithm will consider future states to plan a course of action.

New Research Aims to Solve the Problem of AI Bias in “Black Box” Algorithms As we automate more and more decisions, being able to understand how an AI thinks is increasingly important.
