TEDxKlagenfurt – Artificial Gossips
Remember that time, when gossips used to be human? Well, that time is over! Thanks to what is known as “deep learning,” AI-powered machines are mimicking the patterns of human behavior. Now, it is the time to teach the technologies making the right choices. There is a reason why Debrett’s HK 100 named De Kai one of the most influential figures of Hong Kong in 2015. His work is an amazing combination of music, language, intelligence and culture.
