Yes. Here's how I've been explaining this to non-technical people lately: "We do not have intelligent machines that can reason. They don't exist yet. What we have today is machines that can learn to recognize patterns at higher levels of abstraction. For example, for imagine recognition, we have machines that can learn to recognize patterns at the level of pixels as well as at the level of textures, shapes, and objects." If anyone has a better way of explaining deep learning to non-technical people in a few short sentences, I'd love to see it. Post it here!
