Futurist and author Trond Arne Undheim interviews Otkrist Gupta, who talks about reality and hype in deep learning, a sub-field of artificial intelligence. 

The takeaway is that deep learning is a promising technique but faces steep challenges getting out of the black box of explainability, generalizability and data efficiency. The future depends on it.
