Artificial intelligence is gaining strength and materials science can both contribute to and profit from it. In a simultaneous progress race, new materials, systems and processes can be devised and optimized thanks to machine learning techniques and such progress can be turned into in-novative computing platforms. Future materials scientists will profit from understanding how machine learning can boost the conception of advanced materials. This review covers aspects of computation from the fundamentals to directions taken and repercussions produced by compu-tation to account for the origins, procedures and applications of artificial intelligence. Machine learning and its methods are reviewed to provide basic knowledge on its implementation and its potential. The materials and systems used to implement artificial intelligence with electric charges are finding serious competition from other information carrying and processing agents. The impact these techniques are having on the inception of new advanced materials is so deep that a new paradigm is developing where implicit knowledge is being mined to conceive materi-als and systems for functions instead of finding applications to found materials. How far this trend can be carried is hard to fathom as exemplified by the power to discover unheard of mate-rials or physical laws buried in data.
