Mathematicians may have a better way to measure agreement across different datasets. Agreement affects reproducibility, meta-analysis, and prediction to fill in missing data points. We need a more ...

Three books unpack our infatuation with prediction, and what we lose when we outsource this task to machines. To be human is, fundamentally, to be a forecaster. Occasionally a pretty good one. Trying ...

• A new AI machine learning algorithm capable of predicting planetary orbits that may one day help accelerate physics research in other areas such as renewable energy. • Strikingly, the algorithms ...

For centuries, humans looked to seers and astrologers to determine fate. Today, we look to algorithms, and the loss of agency is the same.

A model made using machine learning can predict if CPAP use in patients with obstructive sleep apnea will benefit or harm ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Innovation futurist, keynote speaker and author, based in California. The need to predict is omnipresent. Every time you buy a ...
