Importance of image recognition

As it has hopefully become clear from the topics in this book, artificial intelligence in general, and machine learning in particular, are some of the technologies that are driving the digital transformation happening in today's society. Being able to "see" is a critical component of the learning process in humans. Similarly, even though they use different method to "see," capturing images and recognizing what is contained in those images is of paramount importance to computers in order to create datasets to feed machine learning pipelines and obtain insight from that data.

An obvious example of this is self-driving technology. In this case computers, just like their human counterparts, need to be able to ingest gigabytes worth of data in any given second, analyze that data, and make life altering decisions in real time. I am very excited for the day when this technology becomes widely available; my estimation is...
