If $Y$ at that point is (statistically and practically) significantly better than our current operating point, and that point is deemed acceptable, we update the system parameters to this better value. And we can keep repeating this approach, relying on intuition and luck. Why experiment with several parameters concurrently?

All you need to know for now is that machine learning uses statistical techniques to give computer systems the ability to “learn” by being trained on existing data. The need for an experimental culture implies that machine learning is currently better suited to the consumer space than it is to enterprise companies.

Before we get too far into 2019, I wanted to take a brief moment to reflect on some of the changes we’ve seen in the market. This group of solutions targets code-first data scientists who use statistical programming languages and spend their days in computational notebooks (e.g., Reflections. Code-first data science platforms.

The new survey, which ran for a few weeks in December 2019, generated an enthusiastic 1,388 responses. This year, about 15% of respondent organizations are not doing anything with AI, down ~20% from our 2019 survey. It seems as if the experimental AI projects of 2019 have borne fruit. But what kind?

For example, P&C insurance strives to understand its customers and households better through data, to provide better customer service and anticipate insurance needs, as well as accurately measure risks. Life insurance needs accurate data on consumer health, age and other metrics of risk. Now, there is a data risk here.

That’s a risk in case, say, legislators – who don’t understand the nuances of machine learning – attempt to define a single meaning of the word interpret. Given how so much of IT gets driven by concerns about risks and costs, in practice auditability tops the list for many business stakeholders. Ergo, less interpretable.
