Deep learning, or machine learning, is one of the latest and most promising developments of artificial intelligence. It involves artificially reproducing the neurons of the human brain, and while it might sound like science fiction, it is increasingly becoming part of our society.

Let Tobias Kaulfuss explain to you the benefits, risks, and opportunities that machine learning offers.
