Jeremy Howard: The wonderful and terrifying implications of computers that can learn [TED Video]
What happens when we teach a computer how to learn?
Machine learning practitioner and technologist Jeremy Howard shares some surprising new developments in the fast-moving field of deep learning, a technique that can give computers the ability to learn Chinese, or to recognize objects in photos, or to help think through a medical diagnosis.

Get caught up on a field that will change the way the computers around you behave … sooner than you probably think.
