The most successful companies in recent years: was human intuition or was it analytics driving them?

When I see predictive learning algorithms, they seem to be able to predict '0.3' or '0.4' on a good day. I don't know machine learning, I'm just a regular scientist.

But, I also here these miracle claims like 'AI that can diagnose better than doctors'. So, I'm not sure whether I should bother learning all this kind of data science stuff.

When should I use my intuition, and when should I opt for predictive analytics?

For important decisions it makes sense to mix both.
