Our human brains contain neurons with synaptic connections that make possible our ability to discern patterns in the world around us.7 Computer-based neural networks contain computational units referred to as neurons, and they’re connected artificially so that AI systems can reason.8 In essence, the deep learning approach feeds huge amounts of relevant data to train a computer to recognize a pattern, using many layers of these artificial neurons. It’s a process that is both computationally and data intensive, which is why progress required the other advances previously noted. It also required
