Quote to Note: Big Data from a Xoogler Angle
March 24, 2014
Tucked deep into the Wall Street Journal’s stunning analysis of Big Data was a gem. Here’s the quote, allegedly made by Zest Finance’s big data dog, Douglas Merrill. This Xoogler is quoted in “Big Data Weird Data” as stating:
Machine learning isn’t replacing people.
Interesting. Many professionals at the Dubai intelligence conference in March 2014 were asserting that whizzy new systems worked without having to depend on humans.
Read the entire article in the Wall Street Journal, March 24, 2014, page R 5. It’s online but you may have to pay. Humans can be expensive when asked to do work like report on the underbelly of Big Data.
One question: I thought Google had figured out the automatic thinking thing. Is a disenchanted Googler not getting with the smart data program?
