Here is a cautionary tale about science journalism. An interesting study came out about a neural network designed to predict the side effects of drug combinations.  KurzweilAI used the term deep-learning while Futurity wrote that "A.I. predicts side effects for millions of drug combos". The study itself didn't mention neither A.I. nor deep learning. They only talk about the algorithm that is based on a neural network.  When news writers try to simplify the message of a study, they often over-hype technologies creating false hope. https://lnkd.in/ehArnvK We also tend to fall into that cave too because it's really hard avoiding that. #deeplearning #writers #algorithms #neuralnetworks #futurism …see more
