’The Deep Learning Revolution’ - Geoffrey Hinton - RSE President’s Lecture 2019

“There have been two very different paradigms for Artificial Intelligence: the logic-inspired paradigm focused on reasoning and language, and assumed that the core of intelligence was manipulation of symbolic expressions; the biologically-inspired paradigm focused on learning and perception, and assumed that the core of intelligence was learning the connection strengths in a neural network. With the advent of massively parallel computation and huge datasets, neural networks have proved to be far more effect
