10、elligence have become the rock stars of the technology world. A branch of AI known as deep learning, has proven so useful that skilled operators can command six-figure salaries to build software for Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google.

His aim is to spread deep learning into many hands, so that it may be applied in as many fields a
