I went this week to the launch of the Royal Society's report on machine learning.
It is a very interesting look at all the issues around the subject.
One questioner asked when we would reach the stage when algorithms will be able to do anything a human can do. None of the panel could put a date on it.
But by one yardstick, we are already there.
Computer algorithms learn from the data they find to produce their outcomes. Just like scientists.
An awful lot of humans base their outcomes on what Boris Johnson or Donald Trump says.
Which do you think is better?
