Researchers have devised a new framework for designing machine learning algorithms that helps prevent intelligent machines from being biased.

So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

Same with machine learning. For the non-computer-scientists among us, what is the Master Algorithm? The Master Algorithm is an algorithm that is capable of learning anything from data.

Algorithms are the sets of steps necessary to complete computation.
