Deep learning or machine learning is the new tech, you will be hearing more and more about this AI in the time to come, look now and you can find out more from MIT and other notable organisations who have been researching this for years...
It's from the 1950's, what is NEW is the GPU made it possible,
The entire reason CUDA exists and the nvidia devleopers library is-was so that scientists could code ML algo's.
All the science was developed in 1950's for ML, 1980's a guy discovered backwardization, its stalled in 1990's cuz CPUS were too slow, but now with GTX-1080 class machines anybody with a desktop can generate their own ML.
Just a few days ago a ORANGE grower somewhere 'rolled' is own AI-ML sorting machine for 'oranges' if I remember right, he trained the ML to recognize some 100's of defects and types, and BINGO he had a sorting machine that could recognize any orange, or any fruit for that matter better than a human,
This is why all these AG jobs will go away, pretty soon NO HUMAN will be involved in BIG-AG
The math/physics is all 1950's people, nothing new, its just the GPU in the last 5 years that made all this possible with a $1000 class cpu/gpu.
