It’s just completely obvious that, within five years, deep learning is going to do better.”

"Heading into the 2010s, platforms became increasingly relevant, and the open web less so. Internet forums gave way to subreddits, a centralized system controlled by a single for-profit corporation, Reddit, Inc."

The biggest barrier to the use of artificial intelligence in health care has to do with infrastructure.
