Why Deep Learning (and AI) Will Change Everything - Converge.XYZ

There's a lot of movement in the tech space today, as developments in AI, machine learning and now deep learning are coming at a pace best described as rapid-fire. There's a substantial amount of buzz around that last term, though--the newest to the group of powerhouses with the potential to change everything. Let's examine what exactly makes deep learning so promising and explore what it means for the enterprise. Deep learning falls under the umbrella of artificial neural networks (ANNs), which, essentially, are clusters of virtual neurons created to learn from data sans human supervision. If this sounds a whole lot like what you know of machine learning, that's because it is--both techniques extract statistics and classify results after looking through large amounts of data.
