Speaking through computer generated voices, \u0026lsquo;The Master Algorithm\u0026rsquo; takes on different personas to narrate different stories, reciting a chronological sci-fi history of the fourth industrial revolution in China. Each Chinese techno-utopia is narrated through vignettes moving backwards in time, linking each scenario with the possibilities already embedded in the present. The work is titled after computer scientist Pedro Domingos\u0026rsquo; book \u003cem\u003eThe Master Algorithm\u003c/em\u003e (2015), understood to be on Chinese President Xi Jinping\u0026rsquo;s bookshelf. The book describes machine learning and the possibilities for AI to drive the next evolutionary leap in humanity when a \u0026lsquo;master algorithm\u0026rsquo; is discovered that unites neuroscience, evolution, physics, statistics and computer science. Its central hypothesis is that \u0026ldquo;all knowledge-past, present, and future-can be derived from data by a single, universal learning algorithm\u0026rdquo;.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[]}
