An amazing quote from a machine learning textbook: "AI will end up being applied to nearly every process that makes up our society and our daily lives, much like the internet is today.. [while] on the way we face a few setbacks. "

Right now, it may seem hard to believe that AI could have a large impact on our world, because it isn’t yet widely deployed—much as, back in 1995, it would have been difficult to believe in the future impact of the internet. Back then, most people didn’t see how the internet was relevant to them and how it was going to change their lives. The same is true for deep learning and AI today. But make no mistake: AI is coming. In a not- so-distant future, AI will be your assistant, even your friend; it will answer your questions, help educate your kids, and watch over your health. It will deliver your groceries to your door and drive you from point A to point B. It will be your interface to an increasingly complex and information-intensive world. And, even more important, AI will help humanity as a whole move forward, by assisting human scientists in new breakthrough discoveries across all scientific fields, from genomics to mathematics.

On the way, we may face a few setbacks and maybe a new AI winter—in much the same way the internet industry was overhyped in 1998–1999 and suffered from a crash that dried up investment throughout the early 2000s. But we’ll get there eventually. AI will end up being applied to nearly every process that makes up our society and our daily lives, much like the internet is today.

Don’t believe the short-term hype, but do believe in the long-term vision. It may take a while for AI to be deployed to its true potential—a potential the full extent of which no one has yet dared to dream—but AI is coming, and it will transform our world in a fantastic way.

From deep learning with Python by Francois Chollet. Amazing. Even though the internet had plenty of dark winters (the dot com bubble, basically). I'm studying python and data scieence right now and a friend reccomended this book. It goes through actually implementing deep learning in python for experienced programmers and goes through the math and statistics.
