So you're not terminator-worried, just jurrasic park-worried then. (that was what my question was about) >I'm concerned about what solving this is useful for As for all research, it is pretty hard to predict what and what for something will be useful (despite researchers being pushed to say stuff like "my research is going to cure cancer" to get funding). But about neural networks for image processing, they certainly start to be useful for radiology.
