Sooner or later, the U.S. will face mounting job losses due to advances in automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics.

Deep learning is a subfield of machine learning, which is a vibrant research area in artificial intelligence, or AI.

The popular dystopian vision of AI is wrong for one simple reason: it equates intelligence with autonomy. That is, it assumes a smart computer will create its own goals and have its own will and will use its faster processing abilities and deep databases to beat humans at their own game.

When you have a large amount of data that is labeled so a computer knows what it means, and you have a large amount of computing power, and you're trying to find patterns in that data, we've found that deep learning is unbeatable.

Everyone has different interests, but instead of constructive learning, people generally tend to lean towards the negative... and I think social media has somehow given fuel to this kind of thinking.

Perhaps storytellers don't need to care as much about the future as executives and investors do. After all, isn't it possible that technology will enable storytellers to connect directly to their audience without the need for anyone to share the programming decisions or the profit in between? Don't bet on it.

Content zips around the Internet thanks to code - programming code. And code is subject to intellectual property laws.

The Internet has leveled the investment playing field.
