Publisher's Summary

If you want to learn about Deep Learning then keep reading....

It’s said that filling the observable universe with an infinite number of monkeys on infinite typewriters and letting them type for an infinite amount of time would eventually produce Shakespeare’s works. However, what would happen if we applied the infinite monkey theorem to computer programs capable of learning and evolution? Would a thousand such smart machines thrown together and allowed to evolve undisturbed produce a human mind or something much greater? Well, scientists decided to give it a go and see what happened.

That line of reasoning, alongside the fact we’ve nearly exhausted all the possible progress of the scientific method, motivated the creation of deep learning, a process in which computer programs meant to learn and adapt to the environment evolve on their own without any human intervention or even knowledge how their evolution occurs. Such software could eventually develop a will of its own and escape containment or even be intentionally unleashed on the planet as a cyber-weapon.

This audiobook analyzes the validity of such seemingly preposterous possibilities while compiling and investigating academic research concerning deep learning and its practical applications, referencing, and quick summarizing of numerous academic writings that need to be meticulously picked apart by the curious listener - who can then truly understand what lies ahead of us all in a future dominated by smart machines. If that same listener finds themselves starting up exhaustive conversations with complete strangers on deep learning, this book has done its job superbly. So if you want to learn about Deep Learning without having to go through heavy textbooks, listen to this audiobook now!

Somewhat boring

The book has lots of information about how deep learning can be applied to modern life and specifically to medicine advancement. It's overwhelmed with applications that deep learning can be used with but at certain point it becomes boring to listen to. I was expecting something a little more technical as I am a software developer, and/or information about things that are already being developed and it's far fetched from the public's eyes. It's a good book to get one started on deep learning by answering what it is and where it can be applied, but it seems to me that after a while the author runs out of interesting things to say and even includes a glossary at the end with the definitions of terms that the book uses. In my opinion, glossaries are a little out of the scope of this book and the terms used within should be explained at the moment they are used in the text.
At the end, it's only a reading of 3 hours and I would say it's worthy, but don't be surprise if you find yourself wondering in the middle of the readings though, because as stated before, they can get pretty boring after a while.
