A Wave Of Billion-Dollar Computer Vision Startups Is Coming

The ability to automate human sight is opening up massive opportunities for value creation across ... [ ] every sector of the economy. Computer vision is the most technologically mature field in modern artificial intelligence. This is about to translate into enormous commercial value creation. The deep learning revolution has its roots in computer vision. At the now-historic 2012 ImageNet competition, Geoff Hinton and team debuted a neural network--a novel architecture at the time--whose performance eclipsed all previous efforts at computer-based image recognition. The era of deep learning was born, with computer vision as its original use case.
