AI, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning: A Primer [video]
From the presentation:
&quot;There&#x27;s a lot of talk about how AI is going to totally replace humans... (But) I like to think that AI is going to actually make humans better at what they do ...&quot;<p>Then immediately he continues that<p>&quot;So it turns out that using deep learning techniques we&#x27;ve already gotten to better than human performance [....] at  these highly complex tasks that used to take highly, highly trained individuals... These are perfect examples of how deep learning can get to better than human performance... &#x27;cause they&#x27;re just taking data and they&#x27;re making categories..&quot;<p>I think that brushing off the dramatic social changes that this technology will catalyze is irresponsible.<p>One application developed by one startup in California (or wherever) could make tens of millions of people redundant all over the world overnight.<p>How will deep learning apps affect the healthcare systems all over the world? What about IT, design, music, financial, transportation, postal services... nearly every field will be affected by it.<p>Who should the affected people turn to ? Their respective states ? The politicians ? Take up arms and make a revolution ?<p>My point is that technologists should be ready to answer these questions.<p>We can&#x27;t just outsource these problems to other layers of society - after all, they&#x27;re one step behind the innovation and the consequence of technology is only visible after it&#x27;s already deeply rooted in our daily habits.<p>We should become more involved in the political process all over the world (!) - <i>at least</i> with some practical advice to how the lawmakers should adapt the laws of their countries to avoid economic or social disturbances due to the introduction of a certain global AI system.
