Humans often hold false notions about the world and encountermisinformation, yet we excel in learning within noisy environments. Augmenting human learning with machine learning requires a deeper understanding of learning in such environments. Across healthcare,agriculture, politics, economics, and transportation, our future as a species relies on the increasing synergy between machine learning and human learning. It is paramount that we develop tools to handle real-world uncertainty while ensuring our advancements in machine intelligence are directed towards social good.www.AmericancollegeAim.org
