<h2>[EXAMPLE]</h2>
<p>interest in AI is at an all time high - google trends indicate people are searching for AI terms, 5x greater than 5 years ago</p>
<p>Breakthroughs in&nbsp;<strong>computer vision</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>speech recognition</strong>, and, more generally,&nbsp;<strong>pattern recognition</strong>&nbsp;in large data sets, have given machine learning substantial power to impact industry, society, and other academic disciplines.</p>
<p>Like the internet before it, <strong>machine learning now stands poised to impact diverse areas of the economy.</strong> Whether you work in government, medical imaging, car services, the law, or recycling, there&rsquo;s good reason to believe that <strong>machine learning will impact your life and finances</strong>.</p>

<p>Both in industry and the broader public, <strong>many people know that important things are happening in machine learning but lack any concrete sense of what&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>precisely is happening.</strong></p>
<p>This pairing of interest with ignorance has created <strong>a perfect storm for a misinformation epidemic.</strong></p>
<p>The outsize demand for stories about AI has created a tremendous opportunity for impostors to capture some piece of this market.</p>
<p>This has made deep learning especially ripe for exploitation by click-baiters, including journalists in the traditional media who might possess the writing chops but are out of their depth &ndash; <strong>see the recent Maureen Dowd piece on Elon Musk, Demis Hassabis, and AI Armaggedon in Vanity Fair for a masterclass in </strong><strong>low-quality, opportunistic journalism.</strong></p>
