The Master of Machine Learning is enticing technologists to invest

Li Deng has been working with artificial intelligence and machine learning for nearly three decades. He spent 17 years at Microsoft and founded the tech company's Deep Learning Center in Redmond, Washington. But for the past five years, Deng has worked in finance, and now he's on a mission to persuade other technologists to get into the field as well. "In finance, the data is huge. In many cases, it's much bigger than the data you're dealing with in technology," Deng tells us.
