Most Deep Learning methods involve artificial neural networks, modeling how our bran works. There are some who believe that anything modeled on the human brain, like Deep Learning, will be limited in it’s intelligence, that it will inherit the limits and flaws that our intelligence possesses. Yes, a silo but so much better than 2015.
