| May 4, 2017 at 11:08 | comment | added | flith | @styks: actually, I work in the business/market/media intelligence world (on the tech side), and we have a bunch of data scientists writing complex pattern-recognition and data-processing AI algorithms. At the end of the day, it's filtered and pumped out to human analysts for categorisation, because nobody has yet solved this in a wholly AI manner (hence the recent 'fake news' problem after Facebook fired their human analysts, and went totally machine-based). I suppose that some version of this hybrid model will always be the case, no matter how long ago or far away the computers are... | |

| May 2, 2017 at 13:07 | comment | added | JMac | @styks Seems pretty reasonable to me. The computer would know what a fault might look like, and search for those properties (similar to how in the other question you linked, the Death Star engineers had a program that found their flaw). Humans would then be used to comb through the information that fit the pattern of "potentially flawed" until they found the fault in the Death Star. | |

| May 1, 2017 at 16:43 | comment | added | styps | Good answer! However, it's a little disappointing that they left the explanation to the "power of computers and charts" plus some human eyes, but I guess a more technical explanation would be out of place in a novel... | |
