How deep learning—ranging from Google Translate to autonomous vehicles and virtual cognitive assistants—is revolutionizing our lives and reshaping various sectors of the economy.

The deep learning revolution has ushered in autonomous vehicles, significantly enhanced Google Translate, seamless interactions with Siri and Alexa, and substantial gains from automated trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Deep learning networks can outperform professional poker players and even best a world champion at Go. In this book, Terry Sejnowski describes the journey of deep learning from a niche academic domain to a groundbreaking technology in the information economy.

Sejnowski was instrumental in the inception of deep learning, being one of a select group of researchers during the 1980s who questioned the conventional logic-and-symbols-based approach to AI. The alternative version of AI developed by Sejnowski and his peers, which evolved into deep learning, is driven by data. Deep networks acquire knowledge through data similarly to how infants perceive their surroundings, starting with a blank slate and slowly mastering the abilities needed to navigate unfamiliar situations. Learning algorithms sift through raw data to extract valuable insights; this information can be transformed into knowledge; knowledge leads to understanding; and understanding culminates in wisdom. One day, an autonomous vehicle will understand the road better than you and operate with greater proficiency; a deep learning network will evaluate your health conditions; a personal cognitive assistant will enhance your limited human capabilities. While nature took millions of years to cultivate human intelligence, AI is advancing on a timeline measured in decades. Sejnowski prepares us for a future shaped by deep learning.
