Very good point. Even if this particular study isn't a "breakthrough" it is likely a matter of time before AI / Deep Learning (what term am I supposed to use?)

Very good point. Even if this particular study isn't a "breakthrough" it is likely a matter of time before AI / Deep Learning (what term am I supposed to use?) is able to better interpret visual data than a human. The real barriers to adoption of such a technology are significant and can be witnessed in the popular Self Driving Car technology race. Many people seem to believe the technology problem has already been solved or will be shortly but regulations, public perception, and adjacent industries (i.e. insurance) must adapt before we actually see self driving cars for the common man. These tend to be slow moving beasts. Given how many applications we're seeing for AI it seems that there may be a battle for attention of lawmakers and others for which AI application we put into production first given the limited bandwidth our regulators have; it's not like congress has been especially productive over the last many years.
