Last month, at The Deep Learning Indaba, we had the opportunity to sit down with senior data scientist at Github, Omoju Miller, and Principal Scientist at DeepMind and Professor of Computer Science at University of Oxford, Nando de Freitas.

We got to talk ‘Turning Points of AI’: where we’ve been, where are we now and what can be envisaged for the future of computer intelligence.
