>      Machine learning is expected to power advances in fields as
>    diverse as finance, journalism, and medical diagnosis. As
>    these technologies proliferate, the same dynamic that
>    encouraged Uber to put flawed self-driving cars on city
>    streets will push other companies to release products with
>    potentially dangerous flaws that we haven't yet anticipated.
>    The moral here is not that we should ban artificial
>    intelligence or demonize the companies that develop it. But
>    there's a strong need for regulators and consumer protection
>    agencies to better understand these technologies, so that they
>    can apply the proper scrutiny and enforce standards where
>    necessary. Artificial intelligence from the likes of Google
>    and Uber might reshape our lives in wonderful ways. But in the
>    meantime, we should be wary of their early efforts.
