- mdp2021 4y agoWe deal with intelligence to either solve problems, or to benefit from intelligence to advance our own. If you valued technical advance with a reduced concern towards civilization, ie. power over wisdom, ie. more "how" and less "why", you would get - well, for example, the present situation, that some consider "strongly suboptimal". Some said that there have been two big branches of science fiction, that revolving around power (spaceships etc.) and that revolving around information, and that we have been just lucky to have reached the latter.

A good example of interpretation machine learning is decision trees -- given a series of variables and outcomes you can find out which variables are important to the outcomes and in which combinations.
